Vladimir Mayakovsky

Pro eto: ei i mne [About this: to her and to me]. Moscow and Petrograd: Gosudarstvennoe Isdatelstvo, 1923

8vo (229 x 153mm.), print run of 3,000 copies, 8 photomontage plates by Rodchenko, original printed wrappers designed by Rodchenko, wrappers slightly chipped, upper cover repaired

A fine example of Rodchenko's constructivist book design combined with his photomontage illustrations, to accompany Mayakovsky'🌠s love poem, written seemingly in defence of his own love-life.
