Classic MRKVICKA edition of Rossum´s Robots incorporatingprevious editions Capek covers, and looking like Muzika. Very nice example. Cheaper than the 1st edition. Dear Ebayers, in my last Ebay Auctions, I have now listed some of my rarest Czech Avant-Garde stock including some of the rarest Avantgarde in the world like Pasmo, ReD, Zijeme and the very important 1st edition of RUR which was in Christies auction in 2005 at over 15,000USD, all of the items are very rare Original editions from 1918-1939, to see them all To get an idea of current values please check specialist websites like & , it is particularly useful to look in their Catalogue section at 'Karel Teige' where you can see Pasmo etc at 1000's of Euros, I have offered them at No Reserve. Good Luck to all bidders! Notes; new sale of Rare Czech Avant-Garde Design, all the items are Original and many are reproduced in the important Reference works about Karel Teige, Ladislav Sutnar and in books about Czech Avant-Garde by Jindrich Toman and Zdenek Primus. Please look at the photos for condition. In the future I will offer more rare avantgarde books & magazines with design by important Czech designers like Karel Teige, Ladislav Sutnar, Zdenek Rossmann and Karel Jilek. The values of the items is often very high, I have decided to offer everything with NO RESERVE at very low starting price, the only exceptions are a few items worth over 10,000USD like Capeks 1st Edition RUR.
