réf. 39865Berlin: Globus Verlag n.y. Hardcover. Wide small 4to. First title beige cloth with large detailed front board pictorial stamping in black grey and gold; second title grey cloth spine and pictorial paper over boards. Ca. 75pp; 58pp. Extensive full-page photographs captioned entirely in German. Very good. Boards a bit edgeworn with tail of spine rough; endpapers age toned and a bit worn as usual; couple of centerfold images edgeworn with discreet archival tear mends. Tight decent first editions of this pair of slim oversize photographic studies undated but circa 1900. A delightful study of turn-of-the-century Berlin chock full of huge detailed images one colorized -- its sights buildings public spaces etc. The front board pictorial stamping depicting a busy city scene with river and pedestrian-laden bridge in foreground is quite striking. Second title front board likewise striking but in a very different way showing a statue-topped column crests decorative floral and foliage elements etc. Respectable pair of these uncommon volumes usually found in poor condition.
