15 : 17 cm. Title, dedication, 12 plates in coloured lithograph by R. Geyling. White hand-bound saffian-binding, stamped in black, red and gold, end-papers with ornamental printing, gilt edges (signed) in original box.

Bemerkung:

Important document of the "Vienna Secession". The most charming coloured lithographs by Remigius Geyling (Austrian painter and stage designer 1878-1974) are printed on boards. Much alike the Wiener Werkstätte is this publication probably the lovliest Viennese "dance-gift" from around 1900. Outstanding document of the Viennese Art Nouveau. The expressive illustrations show scenes from the Viennese history.- With the mostly missing orginal illustrated box, bound by W. Melzer, Vienna. - The very delicate Box on upper right corner a bit compressed, loops missing,else a fine copy. - Cat. Wien um 1900, no. 591; Volmer II, 235.
