This catalog consists of 37 printed items, including books, periodicals, posters, brochures, advertisements, and a collection of slides, The Civilized Passenger is a Struggler for Safety on Mass Transportation (1933).
They are brought together in one place in order to provide an overview of the phenomenon, known in the history of design as "Soviet photomontage".
Each item in the catalog boasts photomontage, ranging in extent from the cover alone to entire books composed of as many photomontage images as possible. By contrast, photomontage features almost by accident on other items or, at any rate, neither the artist (illustrator) nor the author expected a photomontage design.
