Pictures from Moderne Kunst in Meister-Holzschnitten (Modern Art in Master Woodcuts), Vol 15, Berlin, 1901.

I bought this enourmous book from Jan Placák- Gallery Ztichlá klika in Prague in 2019. 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 also have Volume I.

Heinrich Sperling was a German artist known for painting animals, especially dogs and horses, but also cats. His paintings were full of realism but also often humour. Here, in Entsetzt (Horrified), an oil-painter’s pallette-board had becomea playground, the thumb-hole becoming a window for cats to leap in and overturn a saucer of milk in the middle of the green [...] [more...] [$]
