Wraps. Condition: New. First printing. Octavo, pp. 50, numerous color illustrations, preface by James Howard Fraser, overview article by Blanka Stehlikova. Cataloguing 89 scarce titles, all illustrated. Scarce reference work, documenting a period of intense creativity. The Czech avant-garde has been compared to the German movement of the same period, but has been a "well kept secret" in the United States, at least until the publication of this groundbreaking exhibition by James Fraser at Fairleigh Dickinson University. A beautiful, well researched and documented effort, worthy of inclusion in any bookman's collection.
