Helena Bochořáková-Dittrichová – Brno. 12 litografií [Brno. 12 Lithographs]
Brno: Nakladem vlastním, 1919. Portfolio of 12 loose lithographs in original printed wrappers. An uncommon early work by the Czech graphic artist, later celebrated as a pioneer of the graphic novel. The suite presents black-and-white views of Brno, her adopted hometown, rendered with expressive linearity and a keen sense of architectural structure. Issued as a self-published portfolio, the lithographs depict streets, churches, and panoramic city views, documenting the Moravian capital in the years immediately following the First World War. Complete copies are scarce.
VG condition. Some browning to border and small tears to hinges of cover.
