Photographic reproduction of original photomontage designed for the first International Spartakiada in Moscow. 1928. Vintage gelatin silver print. 17,5 x 11,5 cm. Mounted to paper.

This iconic photomontage design from 1928, reproduced in this vintage photograph from the same year, was used for the global promotion of the first International Spartakiade in Moscow. The design was featured as a poster, subsequently printed on the front page of “Spartakiada” No. 3, 1928, and appeared on numerous postcards. The Spartakiade was essentially a communist counter-event organized by the Soviet Union as an alternative to the 1928 Summer Olympics in Amsterdam. – Some dents/handling marks, corners bumped, small loss in lower left corner corners slightly bumped, otherwise in good condition.
