Here is a great collection of russian futurists’ books from 1910 to 1930. Most of these books were self-illustrated and self-published by their authors, and it looks like they loved experimenting with type.
Even though it’s cyrillic, perhaps someone might find it useful.

“Menschen in der Türkei, 1981” by Tigermuse is a very interesting photo set depicts the fashion and emotions of turkish people in the pre-globalisation era under the coup regime. The color tones are very melodramatic.

Poster designed by Julius Klinger. Good old times in Austria.
“Julius Klinger (1876 – 1942) was an Austrian Painter, draftsman, illustrator, commercial graphic artist, typographer and writer. Klinger studied at the Technologisches Gewerbemuseum.In 1897 he relocated to Berlin, where he worked extensively as a commercial graphic artist until 1915. Being of Jewish descent, he suffered from national socialist harassment. According to Viennese police records, he was registered as moved to Minsk in June 2, 1942, i.e. deported. Presumably, he was killed the same year.”
