Item description from seller

An unrecorded deluxe copy of this monumental compendium on the book arts at the turn of the twentieth century. Lavishly produced, and here preserved in an exceptional full morocco binding designed by Johann Vincenz Cissarz, the volume represents German bibliophilic craftsmanship at its height immediately before the First World War. Das Moderne Buch is among the most ambitious surveys of contemporary book production issued in the early twentieth century, distinguished by both the breadth of its scholarship and the richness of its physical presentation. The work encompasses paper manufacture, type and typographic design, colour theory, printing techniques, lithography, music printing, and bookbinding, offering a comprehensive account of the graphic arts as practiced at the time. Nineteen specialist essays by leading figures including Carl Ernst Poeschel, A. Niethammer, Carl Sonntag, and Jean Loubier are accompanied by extensive suites of plates and mounted specimens. Particularly notable are the numerous tipped‑in and onlaid exemplars - original graphics, colour prints, and richly decorated papers, including outstanding specimens of marbled and patterned stocks - presented in generous format and superb technical quality. These inserts document materials and processes with a precision unmatched by comparable publications. Long regarded as the most splendid German work on the book arts produced before the Great War, Das Moderne Buch stands as a benchmark of the Gesamtkunstwerk ideal. This deluxe copy, complete and housed in a bespoke Cissarz binding, is an especially desirable and bibliographically significant example of the work. Large quarto (35.2 x 24.7 cm). Text in German. Handsomely bound in nougat-brown morocco, richly gilt to covers and spine, with gilt-stamped title on front cover and spine; the rear cover bearing the gilt publisher’s device. The front cover also carries Cissarz’s gilt signature, confirming the designer’s hand. All edges gilt; decorative patterned endpapers. One tissue guard with a small tear. Only the lightest rubbing to the extremities, particularly the corners; otherwise a splendid, exceptionally well-preserved copy of this impressive compendium. Owing to the size and weight of this book, additional postage charges may apply.
