About This Item
Octavo 18.5x14.5 cm., cloth, 88pp. Edition of 300 copies. Three early texts by Flaubert, with afterword by Stanislav K. Neumann. Notebooks of the young Flaubert from his travels, with four full-page original woodcuts and a vignette by Váchal, in a handsome bibliofile edition. Váchal offers images of exotic nudes and a portrait to illustrate the adventurous text. This is early Váchal work, when he was involved in the Sursum symbolist group, initiating his rebellion against hypocrisy and the fake morality of the day, while celebrating passion as intrinsically good. Neumann commissioned the printing from Brno to Poltika in Vinohrady under Vachal's guidance. It includes a colorful ex-libris by Vachal. Worldcat finds this in three North American libraries (Toronto, U. Indiana, Northwestern). Rare.
