[GRAPHICS] MARX, Karl (text); GELLERT, Hugo (illustrations)

Signed Lithograph [From] Karl Marx: Capital in Pictures

[White Plains, NY: Hugo Gellert, 1933]. Bifolium lithograph (57.5cm), printed on BFK Rives by E. Desjobert (Paris, France), each signed by Gellert in pencil. Faint crease along the upper edge, else Fine.

Widely acknowledged as Gellert's masterpiece, and certainly his most-reproduced body of work, marrying selections from the text of Marx's Kapital with his own strong social-realist graphics. Published at the height of the Depression, the portfolio, limited to 133 numbered and signed sets, is also Gellert's scarcest work, seldom encountered in a complete state. This lithograph features a large charcoal illustration of track wheel machinery, with text from "Constant Capital and Variable Capital" on the opposite page. 82075.
