Soft cover. Condición: Fine. 1st Edition. October 1928-July 1930 (all published) Octavo, wrappers, 19 numbers in 17 issues. From its first issue stating its intent as a Marxist journal of the social sciences and arts, Signals was, like almost all avant-garde activities in Latvia, driven by a social and economic agenda which incorporated the use modernist graphic design of the day. There are, among the more generally Soviet leaning essays and reviews, some interesting original wood- and linocuts and photo-collages, but the most striking aspect is the cover design, unique to each issue, which were highly original Constructivist compositions of very high quality. Artists designing these covers were A. Rentovics, V. Leimans, A. Grigels, L. Sneiders, and A. Segelins, although most were unattributed in many numbers. Signals is very rare and highly collectible. From today's perspective, the original graphic covers of Signals are the some of the most significant visual contributions from Latvia in the 20th century. Fraser, pp.133-135, illustrated. Worldcat finds one set in North America, and single issues alone are scarce are highly sought. This set near fine to fine. More photos and information on request.
