(CHCl=CH) AS (Levisite) oder der einzig gerechte Krieg. By Johannes R. Becher. 374, [2] pp. Small 8vo., 190 x 125 mm, bound in publisher’s wrappers and dust-jacket with a photomontage by John Heartfield. Wien: Agis, 1926.
A wonderful example of John Heartfield’s genius as designer of book covers. Here, his photomontage provides an unnerving image of soldiers marching off in gasmasks in anticipation of chemical warfare. A very good copy with small pieces of the dust-jacket missing from the head and tail of the spine, an old price in pen on the back cover n not within the image, but better than most given the fragile nature of the publication.
Siepmann A 68.
