Žena ve svetle. [Woman in Light].
Praha: E. Beaufort, [1930]. First Edition. Octavo. A masterpiece of interwar photobooks, with 46 black-and-white nudes blending Drtikol's pictorial sensibility with modernist lighting and staging. (Parr / Badger, v1, 79; Roth 64-65). Orange cloth boards with printed label to front panel; save for some bowing to boards and tight binding, a near fine copy. In a remarkably sharp copy of the rare photo-illustrated jacket, with only minor scuffing to rear panel; fine. Housed in custom cloth clamshell case with leather lettering piece. An exquisite copy.
