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.
