About This Item
Time, Inc., New York. Vol. V, No. 3, March 1932. 148 Pp. Soft Cover, 14" X 11 1/2". Rear cover painting of Jean Harlow toasting Lucky Strike cigarettes.
One of the features of the magazine's early years were cover designs by leading artists of the day. Here, Diego Rivera (1885-1957), the prominent Mexican painter whose large frescoes helped establish the Mexican Mural Movement, illustrates an issue devoted to the USSR, with detailed articles covering many aspects of the Soviet Union during its preeminent Stalinist years -- Russia: The Preface, The Soviet State, The Eternal Peasant, The Five-Year Plan, Communist Life, Karl Marx. In addition to Rivera's cover, the issue is richly illustrated with numerous full-page, color propaganda posters, paintings, and period photographs.
Selecting Rivera for the cover of this issue was a pointed choice. Rivera was a dedicated Marxist, a member of the Mexican Communist Party, and deeply involved in world politics. He also hosted Russian exile Leon Trotsky and his wife at his home in Mexico City in the 1930s.
CONDITION: Good+; light wear to edges; front corners lightly creased; spine faded. Toning to inside covers, otherwise the text block is very good. [See photos]

About Armadillo & Dicker Books & Ephemera
80 Years of Selling Things People Could Easily Live Without -- but now Online only.*****CONDITION: We are conservative graders. If we say FINE you can count on it. If there are any minor defects [e.g. minor shelf-wear] they will be noted. VERY GOOD means there is light shelf or surface-wear, possibly some light age-toning, maybe a prior owner's inked name inside -- but no significant defects. GOOD means we wish we had a better copy too, but still in collectable condition. Any significant defects will be noted. FAIR usually means the interior is good or better but the covers are heavily worn. POOR means both the interior and the covers are damaged. Again, significant defects will be noted.
