Book Description

Berlin: Malik-Verlag, (1926). First edition. 12mo. 80pp. Pictorial orange wrappers. Frontispiece. A documentary account based on authentic sources about the 1905 heroic uprising of Russian sailors on the Battleship Potemkin in the Black Sea during the Russo-Japanese War. Printed in 1926 by the famous leftist German publishing house Malik-Verlag, the work is illustrated throughout with 15 photographic reproductions, 10 of which are stills from Sergej M. Eisenstein's landmark 1925 silent film 'Panzerkreuzer Potemkin' describing the events of the Odessa mutiny. Cover designed by John Heartfield. Text in German. Includes a laid-in facsimile letter, dated 26 May 1926, from the Prussian minister rejecting the request by the "Landstag" to ban the movie's distribution. Some ceasing, staining and discoloration to wraps. Front cover detached along spine but present. Tiny chip on fore edge of front wrapper, with one inch closed tear. Wrappers in fair to poor, interior in very good condition.
