Bertolotti 51. Heidtmann 11127. Heiting/Jaeger II, 150 ff. Sichel, Krull 14 ff. – Erste Ausgabe. – Nr. 4 von 50 Exemplaren der Luxusausgabe auf Japan-Papier im Halbledereinband. – Erste Veröffentlichung der erst 21jährigen G. Krull, die nach ihrem Studium in München 1917 ein eigenes Fotoatelier eröffnet hatte. – Die Aktaufnahmen in Kupfer-Handpressendruck von J(osef) Pésci (4), W(anda) v. Debschitz-Kunowski (9) und Germaine Krull (7). – „Der in einer limitierten Auflage herausgegebene Band enthält 20 „photographische Aufnahmen weiblicher Körper nach der Natur“ als Handpressen-Kupferdrucke. 1920 erschien eine zweite Auflage“ (E. Kaufhold in Heiting/Jaeger). – „Germaine Krull established herself as an avant-garde artist in Paris in the 1920s. She had begun to study photography in 1918 in Munich, stimulated by the cultural and political atmosphere in the Bavarian capital, where students, political activists, and artists such as Thomas and Heinrich Mann, Vassily Kandinsky, Richard Strauss, and Rainer Maria Rilke met to dicuss their ideas and projects. Krull later specialized in portrait and nude photography. … The prints were of remarkably high quality, and where pasted onto the leaves by the photographers themselves, who could not afford to pay someone else to do the job. All the nudes are female, and the classicism of the poses, the smoothness of the shadows, the choise of settings, and the printing technique are reminicent of the style of the pictorialist Frank Eugene, who had been the teacher of the photographers represented, and who had just published Hawe, a portefolio of twelve male nudes“ (A. Bertolotti). – „Germaine Krull still seems to be searching for her own photographic language, wavering, as she does, between the photographic styles of her more mature colleagues. Krull used more natural daylight settings, which does give her images a less formal mood. The works included in this book are like photographed versions of classical academic studies. Many are reminiscent of the works of painters, such as the German artist Georg Papperitz. This publication is widely known as Germaine Krull’s first book publication, and therefore an important and appreciated volume amongst photobook lovers. Though the youngest photographer featured here, Krull went on to become the best-known of them all“ (Andreas H. Bitesnich in achtung.photography). – Titel und wenige Tafeln leicht braunfleckig, sehr gutes Exemplar.

Debschitz-Kunowski (9) and Germaine Krull (7). – “This volume, published in a limited edition, contains 20 ‘photographic images of female bodies from life’ as hand-pressed copperplate prints. A second edition appeared in 1920” (E. Kaufhold in Heiting/Jaeger). – The title page and a few plates have slight brown spots; a very good copy.

Carteret III, 408. Vicaire V, 871. – Édition monumentale très rare sur grand papier vélin, les planches étant imprimées sur papier de Chine. – „Monumentale publication romantique, recherchée pour son illustration qui comprend 25 superbes planches hors-texte gravées sur acier par les meilleurs burinistes de l’époque d’après les compositions d’un style classique et dramatique de J.-J. Flatters. L’ouvrage contient également les portraits de Milton, de Chateaubriand et de Lamartine“ (L. Carteret). – „Il a été tiré quelques rares exemplaires en grand papier vélin avec les figures sur papier de Chine appliqué“ (G. Vicaire). – Les illustrations s’inspirent d’un cycle de 56 dessins réalisés par Jean-Jacques Flatters (1786-1845) en 1836 et qui devaient être publiés dès 1837 dans une édition monumentale. Le projet ayant échoué sur le plan financier, seuls les deux premiers chants furent imprimés à l’époque, et seules 12 de ses illustrations furent reproduites. Ce n’est que dix ans après la mort de Flatters que l’éditeur Amable Rigaud acquit les droits et acheva l’ouvrage. Parmi les 56 dessins, les 25 motifs les plus marquants et les plus dramatiques furent sélectionnés, puis transposés sur des plaques d’acier par les meilleurs graveurs sur cuivre de France. – Présente des taches brunes sur l’ensemble de la page, principalement sur les bords des pages ; sinon, très bien conservée.
A very rare monumental edition on large vellum paper, with the plates printed on Chinese paper. – “A monumental Romantic publication, sought after for its illustrations, which comprise 25 superb inset plates engraved on steel by the finest engravers of the period, based on compositions in a classical and dramatic style by J.-J. Flatters. The volume also contains portraits of Milton, Chateaubriand and Lamartine” (L. Carteret). – “A few rare copies were printed on large-format vellum paper with the illustrations on applied Chinese paper” (G. Vicaire). – The illustrations are based on a cycle of 56 drawings produced by Jean-Jacques Flatters (1786–1845) in 1836, which were intended to be published as early as 1837 in a monumental edition. As the project failed financially, only the first two volumes were printed at the time, and only 12 of his illustrations were reproduced. It was not until ten years after Flatters’ death that the publisher Amable Rigaud acquired the rights and completed the work. From the 56 drawings, the 25 most striking and dramatic motifs were selected, then transferred onto steel plates by France’s finest copper engravers. – Shows brown stains across the entire page, mainly along the page edges; otherwise, very well preserved.
