Váchal hasn't got anything reproduced in <I>Czech Photographic Avant-Garde</I> for the perhaps mundane reason that he wasn't a photographer, although I suppose that in the unlikely event that Jan Srp is still alive he might have stuck his bookplate in a copy.<BR/><BR/>Any of the Váchal bookplates would, of course, look very suitable pasted into <I>In Morbid Colours: Art and the Idea of Decadence in the Bohemian Lands 1880-1914.</I><BR/><BR/>The Památník národního písemnictví has a large ex libris collection but I assume it is unstuck exemplars since many of the books in their holdings have the bookplates right where the original owners glued them. I can't recall offhand whether any of those I've seen were by Váchal.Karlahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09925546212345361041noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30426061.post-41193289056938839422008-12-02T14:05:00.000+11:002008-12-02T14:05:00.000+11:00That's a very good point Karla.

I would like to think that the Srp was in <A HREF="http://www.amazon.com/Photographic-Avant-Garde-1918-1948-Vladimir-Bonhomme/dp/B001E6EY56/" REL="nofollow">Czech Photographic Avant-Garde</A>.tellurianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07866444828241586821noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30426061.post-32389411725520974262008-12-02T03:23:00.000+11:002008-12-02T03:23:00.000+11:00Hmm, Váchal bookplates that I haven't seen before!...Hmm, Váchal bookplates that I haven't seen before! (Admittedly there must be quite a few in that category.) I always wonder whether the books that received them were quite as bizarre as the bookplates.Karlahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09925546212345361041noreply@blogger.com
