Moscow and Leningrad: State Art Publishers, 1939. RARE. FIRST EDITION. Hardcover. Oblong 8vo. Very good. Bound in original grey leatherette covered boards with embossed smoke stacks and gilt USSR to front board and gilt title and red stars to spine. Wear to exterior includes rubbing and minor soiling as well as minor bumping to corners and spine ends. Paper along interior gutter of front end paper and paste down is beginning to split at top and bottom, but this is superficial and does not affect the binding. Light finger prints and sporadic foxing to margins throughout, which do not affect the text or illustrations. Filled with photographic illustrations and written descriptions depicting life for Soviet factory workers from morning until bedtime. This increasingly rare book was originally produced for the 1939 New York World's Fair. More photos available. Unpaginated. RUS/101323
