Leipzig, Baumgärtner's Buchhandlung, [1909]. 5 leaves with text (title-page, dedication, 2 pages introduction & list of plates) & 100 loose plates with monochrome ills (b./w. photographs) of Albin Muller's architectural and interior designs and furniture work, each plate with a caption at the bottom o the image. Together in orig. publisher's light beige portfolio, gilt title & vignet on frontcover. Folio. - Light shelfwear to extimities; bottom of spine sl. dam. Scarce work issued as a very detailled record of the exhibition buildings for applied art (exterior & interior) and the gardens at the Hessische Landesausstellung für Freie und Angewandte Kunst, Darmstad, 1908. The building and gardens were designed by Albin Müller (December 13, 1871 - October 2, 1941), a German architect and designer active in Darmstadt. The exterior and interior were all personally designed by Albin Müller in an Art Nouveau-influenced style analogous to that developed by Joseph M. Olbrich. In 1906 Müller was appointed to the Darmstadt Artists' Colony, where he became the lead architect after Joseph Maria Olbrich's death (1908). In 1907 he was appointed a professor, and from 1907 to 1911 taught Applied Arts. In 1926, Müller was appointed architect of the Deutsche Theaterausstellung in Magdeburg. In 1934 he turned to landscape painting and also worked as a writer. -- A very rare work with only some light shelfwear to the portfolio. Extremely rare in this condition.
