Rubakin, Aleksandr · 1920 · Parizh : AR · 18 pictures

A 1920 Russian poetry collection titled Gorod, published in Paris by Aleksandr Rubakin with cover, illustrations and vignettes after drawings by Natalia Goncharova, and with its lettering hand-drawn by the author. The woodcut-style and lithographic images are hard-edged, with stark black-and-white contrast, angular intersecting lines, and a machine-age geometry of gears, wheels, and stacked city blocks that suits modernist layout and graphic work.
