The Moscow Metro Subway System (in Russian)
- Decorative Cloth
- 1941
1941. Decorative Cloth. Very Good +. Impressive 1941 monograph on the Moscow subway sytem and its elaborate maze, with illustrations of stations, technical information, details of decorations, etc. Text exclusively in Russian. Rich blue cloth, inlaid emblem of the Moscow subway, gilt-rule at the front panel, gilt-titling along the spine. Light bumping to the spine crown, neat inscription (in Russian) on the front free endpaper. Still though, well-preserved and solidly VG to VG+. Tall quarto, generous black-and-white plates, well over 150, casting the system in its best possible light -- showing gleaming, Art Decoish, very stylish touches.
