The Communist International: No. 8, February
London: Centropress Limited, 1925.
First Edition. 8vo. Original grey-green pictorial wrappers printed in red and black. Staple-bound as issued. Minor rubbing to the extremities and a small corner crease to the first few leaves. Internally clean and remarkably well-preserved for a fragile ephemeral item of this period.
This monthly periodical functioned as the theoretical and strategic heart of the global communist movement. The February 1925 issue was produced during a period of intense internal debate within the Comintern following Lenin's death, focusing on the tactical shifts and "Bolshevization" of foreign labor movements. The striking woodcut-style cover art, depicting a worker breaking the chains of the globe, remains a classic example of early Soviet agitprop aesthetic.
