AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Mizející Praha (Disappearing Prague) is a photographic book by the Czech photographer Jan Reich, published in 2000 by Gallery. It presents a poetic collection of over eighty black‑and‑white photographs documenting the peripheral and everyday landscapes of Prague in the 1970s — including embankments, old tramways, wooden fences, railway stations, and other urban corners that have since vanished or dramatically changed. Reich’s images focus on the poetry of ordinary things, capturing a side of the city that no longer exists and offering both artistic and historical insight into Prague’s past.
Reich, a student of Josef Sudek, did not focus on portraits of people; instead, he explored the poetry of everyday objects and the city’s periphery, creating a vision of Prague that today’s visitors can hardly imagine — both melancholic and authentic at the same time.
Condition: The dust jacket is yellowed and slightly soiled; otherwise, the book is in good condition.
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.
