*One of Rodchenko's iconic photographs; in the image, a women carries a child up the stairs. Rodchenko took the photo from a high vantage point and used an unusual angle to accentuate the diagonal lines. The present photograph was part of the traveling exhibition '20 Soviet Photographers 1917-1940' and was printed from the original negative under the supervision of Grigory Chudakov, editor-in-chief of Sovietskoje Foto.
