V. Nezval. Akrobat. Design Vit Obrtel. 1927

Vitezslav Nezval. Akrobat. Praha, Plejada, 1927. 21 by 14 centimeters, 44 pages. Typography, wrappers and frontispiece by Vit Obrtel. Primus cat. 77 ill. 64.
The frontispiece is a striking design by Orbtel and in my opinion one of the highlights of the czech avant-garde movement. Published one year earlier than Teige's design for Biebl's "Zlom" and "S lodi". It took me quite a while in obtaining this book and i'm very, very  happy i got it.
