Notes
Global Avantgarde Latvia 18; Fraser L297. Left-leaning periodical published between 1928-1930. "The first two years of Signāls were characterized by plodding content but out-of-the-ordinary covers by different hands (...). Zandersone's color linocut design for the first issue echoed the Czech Devětsil-style in its linocut typography - a commendable start toward introducing a fresh, although short-lived, design concept." (Fraser).
