Marees Gesellschaft Elfte Reihe der Drucke April 1925

Now, we know you don’t care a lick about what books the Marees Gesellschafte was going to publish in 1925. That was over 100 years ago. You already missed out. But why this prospectus of forthcoming Marees Gesellschafte publications is interesting is that the cover, title page, and initials were lettered by E.R. Weiss. The cover, for instance, is reproduced in just about every book and article about Weiss. But this is the real thing. A thing to spend time with and lettering worth contemplating. It also has a nice bookplate for Arthur and Thekla Müller, notable German-Jewish patrons and collectors in Berlin during the early 20th century.
