Screw-bound red cloth over still paper boards with gilt decorations. Contains 30 color or black and white gelatin silver photographs measuring around 7" x 9" with captions in Czech mounted in a custom album. Slight bowing on the boards and some fading thus very good with fine photographs. Superb propaganda photography album issued by the state-owned Svit shoe company which had seized the assets of the world-famous Bata company in the Le Corbusier-designed city of Zlin Czechoslovakia later renamed Gottwaldov after the first Communist president of the country Klement Gottwald. A handwritten dedication starts the album and presents it to the workers of the Svit factory to celebrate their productivity. The photographs that follow are professional images showing workers in the factory as well as the city itself each with a printed caption. Besides working people are seen walking through the city tending their gardens and swimming in the local pool. School children are also photographed playing outside and at a puppet show. A fascinating album with striking images documenting the wonders of the Le Corbusier-designed modern communist city.

1959réf. 1434611959. LE CORBUSIER. Salubra. La Deuxieme Collection. 12 pp. illustrated with 14 double-page wallpaper samples 20 single-page monochrome wallpaper samples and a "Clavier de Couleurs" laid down on rear inside cover. Oblong folio 360 x 240 mm. bound in original publisher's cloth-backed illustrated boards. Basel: Salubra 1959. Le Corbusier designed two collections of colours for the Salubra wallpaper company the "Clavier de Couleurs" of 1931 with 43 colours and this 1959 collection with 20 colours. In this second collection reflecting the changes in his views the 20 single colours are assembled on a single clavier. In the first collection he organized the tones on 12 sample cards in such a manner that one could use a slider to isolate or combine different sets of three to five colours. Each of these cards contained a different chromatic atmosphere intended to produce a particular spatial effect. Thus Le Corbusier not only created a useful tool but also a kind of testament of the purist theory of colour. Although not as rare as the legendary first collection this is still rare and even more so in such fine condition. hardcover books
