Mainz: Jos. Scholz, (ca. 1900 ). Oblong quarto bound in pictorial cloth-backed paper over boards. This is book number 3 in a series of illustrated books published by Scholz in Mainz, Germany. A bit of light soiling and wear, else a very good copy. The books were identical in format with several artists contributing color illustrations. They are all lovely examples of exceptional graphic designs associated with the period. Each repeats a marvelous title page illustration, ornamental borders and endlseave, all overtly Art Nouveau in style. This title illustrated by Adolf Munzer, a prominent Munich artist.
