Beschreibung

N.d., circa 1900. Elephantine folio, 46 by 40 cm. Leaves are loose, as issued, kept in place with three flaps of portfolio as well as three folded sheets for each of the installments, and each of these has a title page which indicates the installment (Heft). Within the first of these installment gatherings is a folded card sheet with a title page, a colophon page of sorts, a forward (Vorwort) by Landé, and on the fourth page of this folded sheet, the Table of Contents. The plates follow, each this is a title page on a glossy card stock. The verso of this leaf contains a table of the 21 plates coming after, each of the 18 color plates with a large mounted illustration of a structure, the backing, a sturdy, stiff black card. The buildings are varied -- private homes, apartments, public buildings. The overarching stylistic theme is a historicism, with the inspiration both Medieval and Renaissance, yet all the structures are also obviously more modern interpretations of the earlier styles, and there is a vague affinity to Jugendstil in some effects but these are not anything close to pure Jugendstil. These are the types of buildings one finds to this day in German cities, and other Central European nations. Whatever ones thoughts on the style, the plates are delightful with their color and the very quirkiness of some of the buildings is also delightful to look at. Condition: First Heft's folded sheet has long tear along front page and beyond. Title page on glossy folded sheet is lightly foxed at bottom. Half Cloth Portfolio with Paper Pastedown on Boards.Three Flaps. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 008063
