322 x 250 mm. (12 3/4 x 9 3/4"). 93, [1] pp. PLEASING DEEP GREEN PEBBLE-GRAIN MOROCCO, LAVISHLY GILT, covers framed with a double gilt rule enclosing a border of snowflakes bordered with dotted rolls, the oblong centerpiece composed of ten snowflakes within dotted rolls, raised bands, spine gilt in compartments, diapered VELLUM DOUBLURES, similarly gilt with snowflakes. Original (slightly soiled) printed paper wrappers bound in. Title page with vignette, each page with an illustrated heading, first page of text with inhabited initial, final page with tailpiece, and 20 FULL-PAGE LITHOGRAPHS, all by Max Neumann. A Large Paper Copy. Silk lining missing from front endleaf and coming loose from rear endleaf, internally with occasional light thumbing, otherwise an extremely fine copy, internally clean and fresh throughout, in an unworn binding. With lively illustrations, this is the Marées-Gesellschaft edition of a story of doppelgängers, offered here in a very animated special binding. An associate of Goethe and Clemens Brentano, German Romantic poet and novelist Ludwig Achim von Arnim (1781-1831) wrote a number of works inspired by German folklore and legends. Sharing similarities with Twain's "Prince and the Pauper," von Arnim's "Fürst Ganzgott Und Sänger Halbgott" is a romp in which a prince ("god") and poet/singer ("demigod") realize they are exact doubles of one another, and cook up a scheme in which the charming poet helps the prince win over his princess. The story is accompanied here by avant-garde lithographs by Max Neumann (1885-1973), a painter and illustrator best remembered for his membership in the Berlin Secession who later faced censure from the Nazis over his "degenerate" art. In the present work, his illustrations bring the story to life, the sketchy lines and tonality of the artwork creating a sense of buoyant movement and comic haphazardness. Our publishers specialized in editions such as the present one, which combined classic German literature with modern, expressionist art. Founded in 1917 by art critic and writer Julius Meier-Graefe (1867-1935) and art historian and publisher Reinhard Piper (1879-1953), the Marées-Gesellschaft (Marées Society) was a prominent German bibliophile society and art publisher. Named after the realist painter Hans von Marées (18371887), one of Meier-Graefe's heroes, the Society issued high quality, limited editions featuring important illustrations--like the present production--until 1929. Our copy has vast margins and a particularly attractive binding of the time: while unsigned, the binding's skillful and elaborate tooling, striking design, and luxurious doublures indicate that it is clearly work of the highest quality.

278 x 222 mm. (11 x 8 3/4"). 102 pp., [1] leaf. Attractive contemporary calf (stamp-signed with gilt cypher on rear turn-in), decorated in blind, covers with central lozenge of minimal flowers and crossing curved foliage surrounded by a border of double rules enclosing curving leaves, smooth spine with vertical titling, patterned endpapers, top edge gilt, original (just slightly soiled) wrappers bound in. Each chapter with a woodcut headpiece, tailpiece, and initial, and 16 FULL-PAGE WOODCUTS, all by Walther Teutsch. Original (just slightly soiled) printed paper wrappers bound in. Two dozen tiny, dark spots (added intentionally?) to spine, otherwise pristine, inside and out. In a graceful contemporary binding, this is the sensuously illustrated Marées-Gesellschaft edition of Schlegel's controversial novel. Philosopher, poet, and linguist Friedrich Schlegel (1772-1829) composed "Lucinde," first published in 1799, in the early days of his romance with his eventual wife, Dorothea Veit, who had left her husband to be with our author. In portraying the romance of the titular Lucinde and her lover Julius, the story provides the best fictional embodiment of Schlegel's philosophical ideals regarding love and marriage, which involved a synthesis of the sensual and the spiritual, with true love forging what he termed an "emancipation of the flesh" as part of the ultimate union of souls. The novel's sexual frankness--and the assumption by Schlegel's contemporaries that it was autobiographical--led to considerable scandal upon its initial publication. In subsequent years, "Lucinde" grew in public estimation, and by the time our edition appeared, it was seen as one of the most important works of German Romanticism. It was, therefore, a natural choice for our publishers, who specialized in avant-garde editions of literary classics. Founded in 1917 by art critic and writer Julius Meier-Graefe (1867-1935) and art historian and publisher Reinhard Piper (1879-1953), the Marées-Gesellschaft (Marées Society) was a prominent German bibliophile society and art publisher. Named after the realist painter Hans von Marées (18371887), one of Meier-Graefe's heroes, the Society issued high quality, limited editions featuring important illustrations--like the present production--until 1929. The arresting suite of woodcuts by Romanian-German Expressionist Walther Teutsch (1883-1964) that accompanies the text here is composed of dramatic, naturalistic lines forming voluptuous human figures who embrace, dance, and gesture through lush scenes. Our copy is in an appealingly decorated binding instead of the usual vellum. We have been unable to identify the binder--the volume is signed with a cypher of a curving device (possibly an s and x) within a shield--but evidently (s)he was a craftsman of considerable skill, with crisp, exact tooling in a harmonious design.
