Otherwise, a very good to near fine copy - clean, bright and unmarked - of this rare issue. Note that this is a heavy and oversized book, so additional postage will be required for international or priority orders. ~SP27~ [4.0P] Documents the life, landscape, and diverse ethnic groups of Subcarpathian Rus' (the present-day Zakarpattia Oblast in Ukraine) during the interwar period, primarily in the 1920s. Based on the photo collection of Czech photographer and historian Rudolf H?lka, the book is a valuable historical record of a region and culture that would soon undergo radical change due to World War II and Soviet rule. The photographs, which are housed in the Slavonic Library in Prague, capture a wide range of subjects that provide insight into the region during the early 20th century. H?lka's photos capture a transitional moment in the region's history, depicting both the timeless rural beauty and the poverty experienced by its people. It showcases the coexistence of various groups, including Rusyns, Slovaks, Czechs, and Jews. The photographs portray the idyllic yet often harsh rural environment of Subcarpathian Rus', documenting the daily lives, labor, and traditions of its inhabitants. While H?lka's images are romantic and celebrate the region's landscapes, they also serve as a crucial documentary record, providing a corrective to the idealized nostalgia of immigrants who had left the region. The book serves as an important portfolio of a time and place that no longer exists in its previous form, offering a unique glimpse into the past through H?lka's lens. Includes black-and-white and hand-colored glass plates, individual photographs, and film roll negatives.…
