Fine-looking, structurally sound hardcover, little discernible wear, bright interior, unmarked. Handsomely produced in a blue cloth over boards, blind-stamped designs to front and rear covers, sharp and distinct lettering to spine. Bright and shiny dust jacket, illustrated, little worn, laminated, and in foldover, quite fine. Full-page, two-page illustrated endpapers front and rear. Over 700 illustrations, the greatest bulk of them in full color. A glorious presentation of the city's best paintings, reunited across the borders that had separated the two Germanys for over 40 years. From the publisher's blurb, "Presented chronologically, this book features a series of portfolios whose text and pictures deal with the schools or artists for which Berlin's museums are so celebrated. Each of these monographic gatherings is a revelation of the city's masterpieces, some neglected or forgotten. Many of the over seven hundred reproductions have never before been shown in color. This is the most comprehensive publication ever devoted to the capital's paintings, and the first to discuss the reorganized, rebuilt, or new institutions that house them. Foremost among these is the new Gemaldegalerie for Old Masters, which houses the bulk of Berlin's magisterial collections of earlier pictures. Volume contains scholarly apparatus in the form of, e.g., notes, index, and bibliography. xv, 1-683 pp.Member, I.O.B.A., C.B.A., and adherent to the highest ethical standards. . . . As New/Fine,
