Beschreibung
Signed first trade edition of a landmark graphic novel, in extraordinary condition. A wordless graphic memoir of Bocho?áková-Dittrichová's provincial girlhood in the Moravian region of what is now the Czech Republic, Z MÉHO D?TSTVÍ ("From My Childhood") is widely recognized as the first wordless novel published by a woman. A series of 95 woodcut vignettes ("a novel of impressions" according to David Beronä) printed rectos only that carefully balance the quotidian realities of daily life with the wonder of childhood, D?TSTVÍ shows the influence of Frans Masereel the Flemish originator of the form whose work Bocho?áková-Dittrichová encountered in Paris but "is a refreshing divergence from [his] squalor" (Beronä). A rare book, at least in part due to its fragile production, this example is remarkably preserved especially complete in the original dustjacket. We locate just nine locations in the US (and just three elsewhere), with many major institutions lacking. A beautiful example of this predecessor to Marjane Satrapi, Phoebe Gloeckner, and Alison Bechdel. 6" x 4.5" Publisher's cream-colored boards with black printed device matching the original graphic jacket. With an introduction by Czech literary critic and historian Arne Novák. Preceded by a limited edition of 50 hand-numbered copies on Ullersdorf paper and ten signed and numbered copies on Japan paper. 14, [194] pages. Signed by Bochorakova-Dittrichova in pencil to title page. Minor wear to jacket, small chip to top of spine. Mild toning overall. Else remarkably clean and bright. Near fine in a near fine jacket.
