Description:
Mainz: Jos. Scholz, (ca. 1900 ). Oblong quarto bound in pictorial cloth-backed paper over boards. This is book number 2 in a series of illustrated books published by Scholz in Mainz, Germany. A bit of light wear, including the text block pulling away from the staples, else a very good copy. The books were identical in format with several artists contributing color illustrations. All of the books repeat a marvelous title page illustration, an ornamental border on the last page and endleaves, all overtly Art Nouveau in style. They are all lovely examples of period graphic design. This title is one of the most desirable in the series, due to the illustrations of Lefler and Urban, two of the leading artists of the Jugendstihl movement in Vienna.

Vienna: Martin Gerlach, 1899. Vienna: Martin Gerlach (1899). Oblong 4to, portfolio, lettered boards and cloth spine, ties. Fine. With accompanying booklet (a little soiled, bit of corner missing). The portfolio contains 51 photographic plates on thick card stock of the interiors of the Rathauskeller, decorated by Lefler and Urban, assisted by Karl Wilda, Alexander Goltz, Hugo Darnaut and others. The booklet contains fifteen chromolithograph plates on glossy paper of Lefler and Urban's artwork for the building. The restaurants, wine cellar, bar and halls were located beneath City Hall. This was the most significant project awarded by the Viennese government to an architect at the turn of the century. Huge murals by Lefler in the style of his and Urban's medieval and historical book illustrations provided the overall decorative scheme which included the furniture and architectural elements. A wonderful documentation of this work of fin-de-siècle fin-de-siècle architecture and decoration by the "Twins", as they were known in Jugendstil art circles. Carter and Cole, Joseph Urban, pages 24-30.. Portfolio.. Fine.. Oblong 4to.
