HANS IM GLUCK

Mainz: Jos. Scholz, (ca. 1900 ). Oblong quarto bound in pictorial cloth-backed paper over boards. This is book number 9 in a series of illustrated books published by Scholz in Mainz, Germany. A bit of soiling on the lower cover, else a near fine copy. The books were identical in format with several artists contributing color illustrations. They are all lovely examples of exceptional graphic designs associated with the period. Each repeats a marvelous title page illustration, ornamental border on the last page and endleaves, all overtly Art Nouveau in style. This title illustrated by Hans Schroedter.
