STANDING OVER 300 FEET HIGH, this monument to Soviet space achievement stands in front of the main entrance to the National Economics Achievements Exhibition in Moscow. The monument, made of sheets of polished titanium over a steel frame, makes an interesting addition to the Moscow skyline, in which the functional lines of modern architecture mingle with the domes, spires, and heavily-ornamented buildings of earlier times. The picture is from “Moscow” in Ward Lock’s “Beautiful World” series. The book contains a collection of 120 colour photographs which show Moscow and its people in their many moods.
