Description: Prague, v Praze. 1938, First Edition. Quarter Bound in Slipcase with dust jacket, 305mm. x 230mm. Book, 234, [10] pages, 72 photographic plates. Original leather-backed cloth, dust-jacket, joints torn at spine foot, small amounts of chipping and bumping to extremities, presentation card slipcase, original publisher's box with paper label. This propaganda photobook, published just before the dissolution of Czechoslovakia and World War II, is an interesting example of an avant-garde artist's turn towards national themes, and Jenicek also made short films for the military. Dedicated to the Czechoslovak army, it was published in May 1938 - in the last months of the existence of the First Republic, when the threat to national security was clearly felt. Paper label on box reads 'Bookstore and publishing house of the Czechoslovak Officers Union.' Scarce in Hardback [18558/782]. Very Good/Very Good.
