Berlin Gesetzlich Geschutzt. Photo Lithogr. v. Wilh. Schutz, Grossh. S. Hofbuchbinderei u. Albumfabrik, Eisenach. Vue totale / Total View
[Berlin]: Der Viewbucher, no date, late 19thC. Glossy monochrome (b&w) lithographed urban scenes in a familiar format: these are based on photography with artists' touch-ups and reproduced on a single long leaf folded accordion-style. Find 36 plates (several are vignette multiples and one a double panorama), the long leaf coated and tinted orange-y cream with red line-drawn frames for each image, the enclosing 4x6 inch red cloth folder is embossed and decorated in black & gilt (front cover) and in blind (back cover), it is a little shaky from age and handling, the long leaf ditto with a short closed tear at one fold-line; moreover, expect a quarter-inch adhesion scar upon das Konigliche Opernhaus. A small corner of back cover is faded to pink. A fair to good-only exemplar.
