A suite of five woodcuts commemorating the lives of mystics and seers, including symbolist images of Zivota Strom, Comelius Agrippa, Jakob Boehme, Angelius Silesius and Catherine Emmerich, laid loose into a printed portfolio, as issued, with printed titles on the rear wrap of the portfolio, where it is also signed by vachal. Each print bears the artist's seal. Himself a mystic of the strangest sort, Vachal id probably better qualified than anyone to undertake the present retrospective. A fine copy of this rare item in the opus of one of the most wonderful artists of the Eastern European avant-garde, who was also among the really unique book-makers of the 20th Century. Rare.
