D'APRÈS NICOLAS LOKHOFF (1872-1948)
PYRAMID OF CAPITALIST SYSTEM. 1912.
18 1/2x14 1/2 inches, 47x36 3/4 cm. The International Pub. Co., Cleveland. Condition B / B+: margins and partial border trimmed off; minor abrasions in image; sharp creases in right image. Mounted on board.
Based on a Russian flyer from 1901, this popular image seems to have first been published in America in the 1911 edition of Industrial Worker (The International Publishing Co., Cleveland, Ohio, U.S.), a newspaper of the Industrial Workers of the World. It then was issued as a poster in 1911 by the Cleveland firm of "Nedeljkovich, Brashich, & Kuharich" (See Swann sale 2284 lot 368). This 1912 printing issued by Kuharich is no less rare than the earlier 1911 printing.
