About This Item
Berlin: Hermann Hillger Verlag, 1915. First Edition. Paper pastedown on boards. Very Good. 8vo. Unpaginated, with 25 leaves, a color plate on each of them, not counting title leaf. The color plate is on the recto, and the facing verso contains accompanying verse. The artwork bears the style of a darkish late impressionism as it moved towards an Expressionist sensibility. As not everything was by the same hand, there is some diversity of style, coloring, literalism, of course. Included is an original subscription or order form for the book. It would appear that the book was sold in part or perhaps entirely through direct sales spearheaded by the Crown Princess and conducted by aristocratic women, at least in some measure. Light soiling to the cover pastedown. Scattered light soiling within. One gathering is partly loose.
