Adventurous World of Zdeněk Burian (Dobrodružný svět Zdeňka Buriana)

The renown Czech artist Zdeněk Burian is best known internationally for his paintings of dinosaurs, extinct mammals and prehistoric man but his illustration work is only known in the Czech Republic.

This massive (9 1/2” x 13”, 414 page, 6 pounds 7 ounces) art book reproduces, from the original art, mostly complete sets of illustrations for books published by various Cxech publishers in the years 1921-1947.

Published in 2016, the book went out of print from the Czech publisher who did do a second printing (the text of the book is in Czech so most of you will be buying this only for the art). We were able to get a limited number of first printing copies from a Czech book distributor.

This item has a shipping surcharge of $6.

The Czech publisher has informed us that the book is now out of print, so when we run out of the copies we have we will be unable to acquire any more.
