Description
A unique, privately made Art Deco binding with a Slovenian title includes a book Album slovenskih književnikov (Album of Slovenian Authors) – an elaborately made book with over a hundred portraits of writers and poets. The book is especially valuable source for portraits of contemporary male and female authors of the early 20th century.
The portraits were collected by a bibliographer, professor and a director of the Slovenian National Library between 1927–1946, Janko Šlebinger.
