192658596Brno: Vydalo Druzstvo Moravsky Legionar 1926. Paperback. Very good. 155pp. Sextodecimo 17.5 cm Pictorial wraps with unstapled gatherings which was common for Czech paperbacks of the time. With 21 photographic illustrations and a map of Eurasia. With an expressionist cover illustrated by Helena Bochorakova-Dittrichova. <br /> <br /> Helena Bochorakova-Dittrichova 1894-1980 was the first female wordless novelist and the only woman to work in this medium during its heyday. She was born in the Moravian region of what is now the Czech Republic and spent most of her life in Brno the Moravian capital. She graduated from the Academy of Fine Arts in Prague and in 1923 received a government scholarship to study printmaking in Paris. Bochorakova-Dittrichova's unpublished wordless novel Malirka Na Cestach The Artist on Her Journey recounts this period in her life. In Paris she first encountered the wordless novels of Flemish artist Frans Masereel the originator of the form and was inspired to create her own. Over the course of her long career Bochorakova-Dittrichova published several wordless novels along with travelogues and historical works. She also worked as a printmaker and illustrator and was highly regarded in her native land though largely unknown elsewhere. This changed in 2014 when the National Museum of Women in the Arts held an exhibition of her work entitled "The First Woman Graphic Novelist: Helena Bochorakova-Dittrichova" and this important artist finally began to gain global recognition. Her work however is still not widely available. Vydalo Druzstvo Moravsky Legionar paperback
