first edition
1918 · Munich
by Enders, Ludwig
Munich: Dietrich, 1918. First Edition. First Edition. Original color pictorial illustrated covers, front and back, black cloth spine. A fabulously illustrated and scarce picture book illustrated by Ludwig Enders (1889-1956) with illustrated title and 16 color plates by Ludwig Enders. 27.5 x 20.5cm. These illustrations are wonderfully expressive, full of detail and brilliant color scheming, as the book was "elaborately printed in 14 colors" (cat. Stuck-Villa). Slightly browned in margins due to fragile paper, faint creases or tiny tears in margins. Endpaper with contemporary ownership entry in pencil. A well-preserved copy of a truly great presentation of Enders' skill and innovative interpretations.
