Description
1962. First Edition. KUBASTA, Vojtech. The American Indian Hunt. London: Bancroft, [1962]. Folio (9 by 13 inches), staple-bound as issued, original half red cloth, original pictorial paper wrappers; pp. 8 and double-page pop-up. $950.First edition of Kubasta's striking American Indian Hunt pop-up book, featuring an eight-page story (""The Day of the Bison Hunt"") and a vibrant, double-page, folio pop-up of an Indian camp, in original pictorial wrappers depicting an Indian chief.This wonderful pop-up book includes an eight-page story and an extremely large pop-up (17-3/4 by 12-1/2 by 10-3/4 inches) about an American Indian father and son who join a neighboring tribe's bison hunt after a storm diverts them from a fishing trip. ""Kubasta's talent as a graphic artist was to combine a robust graphic style of great charm and humor with a puppet-master's flair for story-telling in three dimensions"" (John Michael Dawson). ""His distinctive bold and colorful figures, as seen in this work, became increasingly popular. After the Czech publishing industry was nationalized in 1948, Kubasta began creating advertising materials for Czech products abroad that included three-dimensional cards for items such as Pilsner beer, porcelain and sewing machines. Beginning in the 1950s, he developed elaborate paper construction crèches annually each Christmas season… His beautifully designed and intricate pop-ups were later produced from the 1960s-1980s worldwide and became the inspiration for the revival of the pop-up book industry in America"" (Stephen Van Dyke, Smithsonian Libraries). ""Kubasta's faux-naif style with a Bohemian flavor is somewhat exotic to an American eye"" (Ellen G.K. Rubin), and ""today, original editions of his illustrations and books are sought after by collectors from around the world"" (James A. Findlay). Kubasta's works were all printed in Czechoslovakia using a special pre-war press at the state-run company, Artia Prague. They were then published for various markets, including the British one, as here. Montanaro, 592. Interior generally fine, single tape repair to otherwise intact pop-up and moveables, only minor wear mostly to board extremities. A lovely copy in near-fine condition.

Description
London: Oz Publications Ink Limited, 1967. Very Good +. London: Oz Publications Ink Limited, 1967. Single newsprint sheet, folded as issued (29x45in unfolded). Black-and-white photographs throughout; pink and purple illustration at verso. Sheet toned, especially along creases; tears forming in several spots. Nevertheless Very Good or better. Oz Magazine was an underground newspaper closely associated with 1960s international counterculture. It was created by journalist Richard Neville in Sydney, Australia in 1963 and relocated to London four years later. There, Neville oversaw the magazine’s forty-eight-issue run alongside Jim Anderson and Felix Dennis. Oz printed cutting commentary on topics spanning gay rights, racism, feminism, the pill, rock music, and the Vietnam War. The magazine garnered criticism in both Australia and the UK, where it was the subject of the longest-running obscenity trial in British history. Oz railed against conformity: this issue exposes the “Alfs” in our midst, a “bizarre cult of grey, short-haired nine-to-fivers” infiltrating the population. Cheeky copy includes Winston Churchill, Robert Kennedy, and King George V among a list of Alf apologists, and true/false quiz allows readers to determine whether they are Alfs themselves. Whether you believe “London swings” (UK slang that means all things even out over time) or “God is on our side,” you’re out of luck. Oz declares that “If you attempted any of these questions then you are an alf.” Martin Sharp’s psychedelic covers became a hallmark of the magazine, one of which is showcased here.
