Item description from seller

A substantial and well-illustrated art history survey of Vienna's public and private galleries, published by the prestigious Boston house L.C. Page & Company in their first printing (May 1911). Written by David C. Preyer, an accomplished art historian and author of The Art of the Metropolitan Museum and The Art of the Netherlands Galleries, this comprehensive volume provides historical context, critical descriptions, and detailed information about the collections housed in Vienna's major institutional and private galleries during the Belle Époque. An important primary source for scholars of European art, the Austro-Hungarian Empire, and the history of art museums and collecting. Preyer's scholarship and aesthetic judgment made this volume a standard reference work for anglophone readers seeking to understand Vienna's artistic heritage at the turn of the twentieth century. Original publisher's cloth binding in deep green with elaborate gilt ornamentation featuring the Austrian imperial eagle in red enamel or colored inlay, complemented by ornate gilt decorative borders and lettering to spine and boards. A striking example of early twentieth-century American book arts and design. Binding tight and square; cloth exhibits light age wear consistent with the book's age. Spine head and tail show minor fraying to cloth edges—a characteristic occurrence in bindings of this era. Gilt lettering remains legible throughout. Text block complete and secure; hinges firm. Pages of cream-colored paper show light, even age toning. Title page, preface, and front matter intact. Black and white illustrated plates throughout—sharp and clear with excellent detail and reproduction quality. Bibliography and index present; approximately 320+ pages. No tears, stains, or marked pages; binding opens flat. A handsome, complete copy of this scholarly illustrated work.
