Josef Sudek Fotografie, a small-format book with wonderfully-printed gravure plates, is the perfect testimony to this life obsessed. Packed with a wide range of images from Sudek’s oeuvre. Despite the book’s huge print run of 30.000 copies, it is still a challenge nowadays to find a copy with a good, clean dust jacket.

Published by Státní nakladatelství krásné literatury, hudby a umění, Praha in 1956 (when Sudek was 60).
