Mainz: Jos. Scholz, (ca. 1900 ). Oblong quarto bound in pictorial cloth-backed paper over boards. This is book number 2 in a series of illustrated books published by Scholz in Mainz, Germany. A bit of light wear, including the text block pulling away from the staples, else a very good copy. The books were identical in format with several artists contributing color illustrations. All of the books repeat a marvelous title page illustration, an ornamental border on the last page and endleaves, all overtly Art Nouveau in style. They are all lovely examples of period graphic design. This title is one of the most desirable in the series, due to the illustrations of Lefler and Urban, two of the leading artists of the Jugendstihl movement in Vienna.

Wien: Gesellschaft für vervielfätigende Kunst, 1898. First edition. Hardcover. fair. Ex-library. Elephant folio. [2], 36, [1], followed by 57 blank leaves. Original illustrated front wrapper bound in three-quarter leather over black cloth. Decorative endpapers. Front and rear boards detached but present, lacking spine and rear wrapper. Rolandsknappen is a legendary tale by German writer & professor, Johann Karl August Musaeus.

This work delightfully illustrated with full-page and in-text b/w reproductions of drawings by Heinrich Lefler and Josef Urban. Decorative initials. Text in German. Staining and age wear to covers, with boards detached. Chipping along edges of front wrapper. Front free endpaper and blank page detached, tearing and chipping to edges of… Read More

Vienna: Martin Gerlach, 1899. Oblong portfolio, lettered boards and cloth spine, ties. The portfolio contains fifty-one photographic plates on thick card stock of the interiors of the Rathauskeller, decorated by Lefler and Urban, assisted by Karl Wilda, Alexander Goltz, Hugo Darnaut and others. Lacking the accompanying booklet. The booklet would contain the text and fifteen chromolithograph plates, and frankly the most visually exciting part of the work. The restaurants, wine cellar, bar, and halls were located beneath Vienna's City Hall, and was the most significant project awarded by the Viennese government to an architect at the turn of the century. Huge murals by Lefler in the style of his and Urban's medieval and historical book illustrations provided the overall decorative scheme which included the furniture and architectural elements. A wonderful documentation of this work of fin-de-siècle fin-de-siècle architecture and decoration by the "Twins", as they were known in Jugendstil circles… Read More
