Description: Berlin, S. Fischer Verlag, [1901]. 42.9 x 34.4 cm. Partly functioning as book window poster, partly as ordering form! Poster with 4 illustrations by Moritz Coschell from the first illustrated edition, published in 1901, an order form (‘Verlangzettel’) at the reverse. Twice folded. One edge dusty, some edge tears. Address of a bookshop pasted outside the printed area. Bookshop window posters and order forms were widely distributed by publishers, designed to please with nice pictures and winsome lettering. When they had had their use they were discarded. Moritz Coschell (1872-1943) was a talented Austrian painter with a long career in Berlin, until ousted by the Nazis because he was a Jew (though protestant and a veteran army officer). He died penniless in Vienna.
