zaren, popen, bolschewiken

designer: (unknown) , berger (jacket)
"tsars, popes, bolsheviks" is another collection of reportages by egon erwin kisch (1885-1948), again published by erich reiss in berlin. the cover is influenced by lucian bernhard's design of book 305. note the ornamental cover's somewhat oriental touch.
there is a portrait photo of kisch on the jacket's back, ...
... interestingly standing on its head!
the jacket is signed "berger" but that's all i know about the book's designers.
i wonder if the jacket's chalkboard style title influenced this jacket design.
