Title: Farbige Räume und Bauten. [German Art Deco interior designs].
Description: Stuttgart, G. Siegle, ca. 1929. Oblong folio (25.0 x 35.0 cm). 30 plates, numbered 1-30, each with one to three interior designs printed in colour, including silver and gilt. = An apparently complete suite of colourful interior design illustrations, probably from the 1920's. Although made following the highest standard of printing, the work is not signed (not even monogrammed) anywhere, except - perhaps - for an indiscernible signature on plate 17. The illustrations are reminiscent of Rudolf Zenker's Farbiger Decken- und Wandschmuck im Geiste Fruhgermanischer Kunst; E. Reinhardt's Prakrische Vorlagenwerk für Dekorationsmaler (Scheider-Henn, 440) and the "Sammelwerk" Farbige Raumkunst (Schneider-Henn, 487). Slight fraying to the lower right corner of the first plate, one very short tear (< 2 mm) in the top margin of plate 30; a few small, weak marginal spots; otherwise in very good condition. No toning; the colouring bright and bold. We found no other copies. Not in Schneider-Henn, Ornament und Dekoration.
