About this event
The German Museum of Books and Writing examines the book jacket as a political weapon in the 1930s: photomontage, typography and cover design pressed into the service of propaganda across competing ideologies. Sharp, design-literate and unsettlingly relevant, housed inside the German National Library's monumental Leipzig building.
