Elephant Folio, publishers covers, with embossed Soviet insignia and two-color typeset in red and gold letters.
Very good to mint.One of the greatest, if not the greatest, rarieties of Soviet post-WW II book culture.

The album was edited by N.Ia.Kolli, member of the Academy of Architecture of the USSR,designed by A.P.Vulykh, typset and printed under the supervision of major S.A.Kotov in Leipzig ( printing shop indexed as No.1/1518/1562/L., 'L' for Leipzig).Among contributors all major Soviet architects of the period.

According to leading German historians and art historians this album was printed in the edition of ca.200 to 300 copies, not for sale (Censor´s index code G85627).
Probably the major Soviet publication on Cemetery Architecture. The project never saw the light of the day in its entirety.
Provenance: In all the probability N.Ia.Kolli´s copy and later E.G., a prominet Berlin art historian and architect.
