About This Item
Milwaukee: Die Hausfrau, 1934. 1st Edition . Soft cover. Near Fine. 4to - over 9¾ - 12" tall. Adelaide Hiebel (cover). Milwaukee: Die Hausfrau, 1934. The Mai (May), 1934 issue of Die Hausfrau, "Monatsschrift fur die Frauenwelt Amerikas" (roughly, Monthly Review for the American Woman"). Text in German. Tall quarto, almost folio, illustrated stapled wraps, 58 pp. Cover - a very pretty young miss, posed at the seashore with her collies - is by the noted calendar pastel artist Adelaide Hiebel, who with contemporary Zula Kenyon did a number of covers for this periodical. Near Fine; literally no salient flaws. Standard very modest age toning, and a subscriber's address, lower right corner. That's about it ! See scans. Very High Grade example. Published for German-Americans in the mid-20th century, but you don't have to be able to read German to appreciate the covers, the removable interior color plates in some issues (this issue's is in fact black and white, a photograph of Burg Epstein am Taunus castle ruins in Germany), the craft pages, short fiction (sometimes illustrated), the frequent geographically whimsical articles, and the excruciatingly home-y black and white photos in Die Hausfrau. This will take ya back. Well, depending on how old you are...Americana, in German. Fetching cover illustration (scan) is the equal of those on English-language magazines of the era that bring much higher prices. Collector's condition. Please see all scans. Lpr4
