About This Item
Moscow: Gosizdat, 1924. Paperback. Very Good. Typographic designs in text by Rodchenko, original wrappers with photomontage designs and Constructivist typography by Rodchenko. Jim Dollar was the pseudonym for Marietta Shaginian, and this saga was the equivalent of an American dime-store novel. 10 volumes in this series were printed, satires aimed at American capitalism and its bourgeois society. Rodchenkos photomontage designs for these publications would soon be in vogue as a propaganda tool. Strongly influenced by early Soviet Avant-Garde film makers, Rodchenko came up with a uniform design for this series, with changeable elements from one issue to the next. The print-run was large, approximately 25,000 per issue; however copies were generally discarded and survivals are scarce. For the moment, offering our three issues as a group.
