About the Item

With 15 (8 signed) coloured original etchings and aquatints by C. E. Uphoff. Original vellum with gilt cover vignette in private linen case with gilt title on spine (stained due to material, cover somewhat opened). - Extremely rare publication - one of 110 hand-numbered copies signed in the printer's note. - The first publication of the Werkgemeinschaft "Das neue Worpswede", a private press founded by the artists Carl Emil and Fritz Uphoff and Ludwig Tügel, who were active in the artists' colony of Worpswede. Worpswede became the home of important artists of Art Nouveau, Impressionism and Expressionism. Many artists fled from the city to the artists' colony in search of rural motifs or to pursue romantic longings for a rural idyll and a simple life close to nature. With this publication, the artists Uphoff and Tügel particularly pursue the desire to revive book art as a unity of text and illustration by applying the same technique. - The series consists of an initial vignette, a signed title, 6 sign. etchings and 6 etched texts (each with vignette) and a signed printer's note. -- Annotations in pencil in the endpapers, paper very delicately and evenly browned, upper margin with small water damage throughout (motifs not affected), light margins throughout, overall a very rare and well-preserved publication with delicate hand-coloured etchings.
