About This Item
Illustrated with 16 original etchings printed in colors by Erhard Amadeus Dier, each signed in pencil. 8vo. Original red morocco-backed boards, gilt-lettered on front cover and spine. Vienna: Artur Wolf Verlag, 1927. First Edition of this suite of prints, after the 1924 edition of the text.
An arresting series of images by the Austrian artist Erhard Dier, who was a student of Camillo Sitte and Josef Jungwirth at the Academy of Fine Arts in Vienna. Dier worked on designs for Austrian banknotes, tapestries, porcelain, wallpapers, and church windows. While generally known for a florid and temperate style, the present suite offers dramatic contrast, evoking some of the darker spirit found in the work of artists like Gustave Doré or Odilon Redon. Dier contributed to many issues of Die Muskete around this time, always credited as "Amadeus" and hence explaining the difficulty in tracing his full body of work. Stain on front cover; light wear at corners; 2 etchings sprung; o/w fine. Scarce.
