AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
95 black-and-white photogravure photographs.
Condition: the book is slightly soiled; otherwise in good condition. The cover is slightly damaged along the edges.
Putování na kole (Journey by Bicycle) is a photographic book by the Czech photographer Ladislav Sitenský, published in 1963 by the Sports and Tourism Publishing House in Prague.
The publication documents a series of black-and-white photographs from a multi-day cycling trip undertaken by Sitenský with a group of young people through the Bohemian-Moravian Highlands, South Bohemia, the central Vltava region, and the Sázava area. The images capture the appeal of bicycle tourism, the landscape, local atmosphere, and the natural beauty encountered along the journey.
The book features a hardcover binding with a paper dust jacket, contains approximately 104 pages, and includes dozens of photographic plates that function both as a visual travelogue and as an authentic document of life in the countryside of the period; the photographs are printed using the gravure (rotogravure) process, contributing to their high visual quality and subtle tonal range.
Seller's Story
I strive to find and offer you the most interesting items from Prague’s antiquarian bookstores and second-hand shops: autographs, rarities, photographs, bibliophilia, old prints, posters, maps, catalogs, high-quality or sold-out books, as well as fine art.
Prague has always been a meeting point of cultures and languages. Especially during the 20th century, Czechoslovakia was visited by numerous world-renowned artists, writers, scientists, and other notable figures who left their mark here and established connections with local culture or institutions. So the selection here will be rich in provenance — including German, French, English, Russian, or, for example, Italian.
However, I will also aim to highlight more or less well-known Czech artists and noteworthy items — of interest to collectors and art lovers, especially those passionate about autographs, fine art, and related fields.
