„Village” Franciszka Prochaski

"Village" by Franciszek Prochaska

While reading Andrzej Kłossowski's text dedicated to Franciszek Prochaska, one of the half-forgotten Polish artists of the 20th century (and excellent typographers), I came across information about a mysterious book published by Prochaska: "Village" by Jean Giono. Kłossowski writes about it that he cannot say anything about it, because he was unable to get his hands on any copy. But what are the Internets for today? The Dutch National Library has copy no. 75 (out of 150) of the edition made by Prochaska. And beautiful photos of the "lost" book, along with its detailed description.

More information can be found on the website of the Dutch National Library .
