Description
Arguably the greatest illustrated book produced by the German modern fine press movement, the drawings by Rudolf Koch (1876–1934), skillfully rendered in woodcut by Fritz Kredel (1900–1973), and hand-colored by Emil Wöllner. This apparently unique copy has the sheets of the three-volume trade edition bound as one volume in the limited edition binding of full vellum with elaborate flower paintings by the illustrator Willi Harwerth.
