Pictures from Moderne Kunst in Meister-Holzschnitten (Modern Art in Master Woodcuts), Vol 14, Berlin, c. 1900.
I bought this enourmous book in Prague in 2020. It’s an “elephant folio” with pages measuring 410×290mm (roughly 11½×16 inches), including many engravings that fill the page or even double-page spreads and fold-outs.
Despite the title, the images are probably engraved on metal, because wood this size was hard to work with.
The date 1901 for this book is provisional; it could be a few years on either side. I took it from an auction catalogue.
I have several other volumes in the same series.

Niccolò Paganini on the Fiftieth Anniversary of His Death
Hmm, his eyes do look a little sunken, but i suspect the title means that the portrait was published on the fiftieth anniversary of Paganini’s death. [more...] [$]
