First edition, limited to 5,000 copies, with text in Czechoslovak, Russian and English.RARE.The brief English introduction to this book of stunning photographs consists mainly of a short biography of the photographer. It reads: "Karel Ludwig [1919-1977], today one of the best known Czechoslovak photographers, became acquainted with the camera only by accident in 1939. Without any professional training, he started to make publicity photographs for a periodical at Zlin. In 1940 he published his first picture in a Prague magazine and became a popular contributor to all leading magasines in the following two years. The pictures included in this first collection are mostly from this period. Karel Ludwig, after an interruption commencing in 1942, resumed his activity in 1946 by preparing further publications." It is not surprising that many of Karel Ludwig's photographs have a theatrical and sometimes cinematic flair since, from 1943 through 1948, he headed the photography department of the Lucernafilm Studios in Prague and was involved with cinematography magazines.VERY SCARCE.
