Description
Prague: Fotograficky Obzor; Ceskoslovenskych Svaz Klubu Fotografu Amateru, 1931-1940, 1946. First edition. Cloth. Very Good. 11 volumes (of 13 published); 28 cm. Lacks volumes for 1941 and 1949. 704 black-and-white photographs reproduced in photogravure, plus introductory text pages and ads in each volume. Bound in original cloth and paper-covered boards; first six volumes with avant-garde cover designs by Karel Teige. Vols. IX and X, published under occupation, bear the alternative title "Ceska fotografie." Most volumes in very good condition, with discoloration on the spines of the paper-covered (wartime) volumes; few corners bumped and minor blemishes present. 1931 volume a bit shaken, with foxing present on first leaves. While professional Czech photographers between the wars made their livings from portraits and souvenir books, the amateurs pushed the limits of photography as an art. The greatest of these, Sudek, Krupka, Drtikol, Styrsky, and Ruzicka, exhibited with the "Amateur Photography Club," and published their work in the amateur photography club's monthly. The club's annual book collected the best work of the year in each volume. Extra shipping charges may apply.
