I am offering a unique first edition of photographic publication “Slovensko vo fotografii” (1949) by Karol Plicka – a true gem for lovers of photography, history, and the Slovak landscape.
This remarkable book features more than 200 striking black-and-white photographs, printed using high-quality gravure printing, which enhances fine detail, contrast, and atmosphere. Plicka masterfully captures not only the beauty of Slovakia’s nature—mountains, villages, and historical landmarks—but also authentic everyday life and traditional culture.
This publication is more than just a book – it is a timeless visual testimony of Slovakia, appealing to anyone with an appreciation for photography, history, or Central European culture.
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.
