1933 Kruhy pod očima T. R. Field

Field, T. R. Kruhy pod očima [Rings Under the Eyes]. Prague: Roba Weisner, 1933. 8vo. 46 pp. No. 8 of 100 numbered "special" copies. Inscribed in 1933 by the author to bookseller, auctioneer, collector and publisher Karel Zink. VG condition. Very nicely preserved. T. R. Field, born Theodor Adalbert Rosenfeld and also known as Bohdan Vojtěch Šumanský, was a satirical poet popular for reciting his poetry in Prague pubs and wine cellars. He spent enough time in England in his youth to be fluent in English and made use of various aliases and family histories to survive the Protectorate years despite his Jewish roots. His popularity as a bohemian poet has been revived twice - one in the late 1960s and again following the Velvet Revolution when his work was republished. Orginal wrappers designed by Jaroslav Rajtoral. Very good condition.
