Hungary : Beautiful Hungary : tourist booklet : Hungarian National Office for Tourism : Budapest : nd [c.1939] : designs by Gyorgy Konecsni

            The covers to an English language tourist booklet "Beautiful Hungary" with covers by the artist and designer Gyorgy Konecsni showing idealised versions of Hungarian national costume. Gyorgy Konecsni (1908 - 1970) was one of Hungary's leading poster artists and designers; it appears that he somewhat fell out of favour following the rise of the Communists to power in 1949  despite undertaking work for the post-war authorities and he turned more to teaching. 

The booklet is undated but has one interesting addition which assists in ascribing a date. Pasted into the front cover is a  page describing the "Revised Northern Frontiers of Hungary". This shows and describes the territories seized from partitioning of Czechoslovakia formalised in the First Vienna Award of 1938 that flowed from the Munich Agreement of September 1938. This was, of course, a prelude to the Second World War that broke out in September 1939. Inter-war Hungarian governments, unhappy with the 1919 Treaty of Trianon, that was signed in the aftermath of the First World War and that was part of the break up of the Austo-Hungarian Empire, constantly attempted to revise the country's borders.
