EIAR Anno XVII
TORINO. EIAR: anno XVII. Unpaginated, illustrated throughout. Folio, 286 x 235 mm., publisher's boards. Firenze: Ballerini, 1938.
This is certainly one of the best examples of the fascist book, where a work of otherwise no redeeming value is made desirable through its brilliant design. The designer has sought to go beyond the endless pictures of Mussolini using imaginative layouts and plentiful photomontage. The boards are bowed, but otherwise a fine copy of a rare book, with OCLC listing only a copy at the University of Amsterdam.
Grillo, Il Libro Fotografico Italiano 1931-1941. pp. 174-176.
