[SZYK, Arthur (1894-1951), illustrator]. Group of Seven Signed First Edition Prints from "Visual History of Nations." [Winnepeg: K. Bileski, 1946-1949].  Full color prints reproducing title-pages from the series, Visual History of Nations, each signed by Szyk, and with the publisher's captions and "First Edition" imprint on versos. Approximately 11 x 9". FIRST EDITIONS. 

A near complete set (this group lacks two plates, Israel, and the United States). It has Great Britain, France, Canada, U. S. S. R., China, Switzerland, and Szyk's native Poland. These handsome prints reflect Szyk's inimitable style of heightened reality. 

Condition

Toned, light wrinkling, several prints dampstained on margins. Generally good.
