Prague: Edice Aventinum, 1921
25.4 x 20.2cm, 28pp plus card covers with a woodcut design by Capek. The long poem by the anarchist Neumann is embellished with a wonderful city design woodcut by Capek as frontispiece and two b/w vignettes. The “brickwork”endpaper designs are also worth mentioning. This copy is complete (the linocut is often removed by Czech dealers) and in very good plus condition with very minor chipping to cover and paper lacks on the last few pages bottom right corner which are neat and do not detract at all. This is not the first edition of the text which was originally found in the ModernI revue of 1903 but is the first thus with the Capek design. One of 1,000 copies but very scarce nonetheless.
