Wells, H.G. Práce, blahobyt a štestí lidstva (The work, wealth and happiness of mankind). 2 vols., 420 and 460pp., b&w photographic ills throughout, 24 plates w. Isotypes. 4to, 240 x 180 mm. cloth in dustwrappers and original board boxes. Prague, F. Strnad, 1937.
Originally publises in English in 1932, this is the final work in Wells' trilogy surveying "picure of mankind today." As such, it makes sense that Neurath Isotypes would accompany this text. While the text is in Czech, part of the brilliance of the Isotype method is that it requires no translation.
An immaculate copy. First Czech edition, with the original prospectus loosely inserted. Rare with OCLC listing 6 copies, with only U. of Illinois in the US.
