	KOCH, ALEXANDER. Innen-Dekoration. Die Gesamte Wohnungskunst in Bild Und Wort. Band XLIX: Das Behagliche Heim. Darmstadt-Stuttgart: Verlagsanstalt Alexander Koch, 1938. [3], 422 pp, + index [4 pp].

A very good copy with moderate foxing on boards and endpapers, in a good repaired and soiled dust jacket, chipped at the spine ends. Â ¶ The year was devoted to modern work primarily but not exclusively on German and Austrian interior design including an over-the-top studio apartment created in black and white by Hendirk Sendker, the work of Otto Bauer (including both a large villa near Paris and a fabulous folding corner bar for an apartment), and an Andre Arbus children's room. 1938 was also the year of the Anschluss (on the morning of March 12th, troops of the German Wehrmacht and the SS crossed the German-Austrian border), and so it is somewhat ironic to see in the March issue (clearly printed earlier) an article on the design of the Vienna offices of the Reichsbahnzentrale fur den Deutschen Reiseverkehr (RDV), the German tourist bureau, by Josef Becvar and Viktor Rusczka - fine modern design, marred only by a large photograph of Hitler in the waiting room, an oil portrait of him in one office, and a photograph of Goebbels in a second office. The September issue shows the designs of Community space for the Luftwaffe. Also includes the work of Josef Beevar, Anne Charlotte Berndt, Fritz August Breuhaus, Alois Degano, Josef F. Dex, Ernst Dobler, Fritz Gaulke, Oswald Haerdtl, Edgar Horstmann, Wilhem Michel, Bruno Moretti, Karl Nothhelfer, Bruno Paul, Bernard Pfau, Anton Possenbacher, Oskar Reidel, Jean Royere. Ulla Snitt, Emile Viet, and many others. Inner-Dekoration ran from 1900 until 1944. German text.
