Large Paper Edition. Large Octavo. 26.5cm. Publisher's pale orange cloth, titled in black and gilt to front board, with red paper title label to spine. [xvi]; 308pp. Scuffing and bumping to extremities, the cloth uniformly faded to a pale, diluted pinkish orange with some scuffing and soiling, darkening to the spine label and some very light marginal chipping; internally clean, black topstain, fore-edge untrimmed, lavishly illustrated throughout in color and black and white. A strong and handsome copy, about very good due to solidity and completeness, but with cosmetic external wear. Significantly taller and more bulky than the trade edition, likely a deluxe or large paper edition produced from British sheets, the pagination differs considerably from the earlier trade edition, with several additional color illustrations (for example the "Red Angel of Revolution" color plate is here the recto of the photographic frontis) and a rather unusual contemporary small format photograph of Leningrad tipped onto one of the plate pages. The paper title label suggests a slipcase, although none is present. Unusual rather than scarce, with a pretty solid showing in institutions, if none in trade.
