About This Item
Prague: Unknown, 1935. Cloth. Near fine. Very scarce collection of Czech caricature -- no copies located on OCLC First Search. Oblong 8vo. 21 by 27 cm. Title, followed by 33 plates, three of which are folding. The illustrations are caricatures mostly of Czech politicians, artists, writers,and other public figures, but there are also a good number relating to world figures, including Hitler, Pilsudski, Stalin, Litvinov, Mussolini, Anthony Eden, Ramsay MacDonald, etc. The style of caricature is quite singular -- comparable in this might be cited Max Beerbohm -- and as always one test of quality, one doesn't necessarily have to be familiar with the subject depicted to derive amusement from the image. Inscribed on title page by the artist. A clean copy.
