I love looking at every page; there are a humongous number of beautiful posters & old photos and wonderful ephemera. The written information is also very interesting. Another terrific publication from Steidl! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Check out these remarkable photo books *by R***N on Reviewed in the United States on January 23, 2019* The book is published on the hundredth anniversary of the creation of Czechoslovakia (and since 1993 it changed back to the Czech Republic and Slovakia) and it's a celebration of photobooks published in the country from 1912 to 2018. I thought the contents provided an excellent overview with 580 titles considered, each with the cover and a couple of inside spreads and usefully quite technical captions detailing the publisher, price, pagination and the number of photos, size, editor, photographer, designer, languages, printer and printing format.　The ten chapters look at some rather interesting subjects. After Manfred Heiting's intro the Spartakiads physical culture mass gymnastics movement is covered with twenty-one books. Founded in 1862 to symbolically show the strength of the small nation using mass displays of thousands of men and women. The Communists high-jacked the movement for their own ends with the first state-run exhibition in 1955 and the last in 1985. So many of the countries photobooks were printed by the Neubert company who developed a unique gravure printing process and though the quality of their work can't physically be seen on these pages the thirty books in the chapter about the company do reveal some very creative looking art books. Josef Sudek and Josef Koudelka are probably the most famous Czechoslovak photographers and rightly get a chapter each. Sudek has seventy-seven books and Koudelka one hundred and four. He has several pages of remarkable photos taken during the 1968 Prague uprising. The books from both these photographers include many published in other countries after their deaths. Two chapters cover the years when Czechoslovakia was taken over by the Nazis and later the Communists. The Nazi destruction of Lidice produced several powerful photobooks published after the war and during the Communists years I was surprised to see plenty of titles revealing publishers could still put out very creatively designed photobooks despite state control of the economy. This is the third superb photobook in English from Steidl and Heiting and it follows the visual style of the previous two (Soviet and Japanese books) with well over a thousand images in colour and mono each with a drop shadow to make them float on the page and printed with a 175 screen. For a small landlocked country in the eastern part of central Europe Czechoslovakia had some extremely talented photographers and publishers. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.jp/products/101387707-czech-and-slovak-photo-publications-1918-1989](https://www.desertcart.jp/products/101387707-czech-and-slovak-photo-publications-1918-1989) --- *Product available on Desertcart Japan* *Store origin: JP* *Last updated: 2026-11-13*
