Pictures from Moderne Kunst in Meister-Holzschnitten (Modern Art in Master Woodcuts), Berlin, 1887.
I bought this enourmous book from Antikvariát Dlážděná in Prague in 2016. It’s an “elephant folio” with pages measuring 410×290mm (roughly 11½×16 inches), including many engravings that fill the page or even double-page spreads and fold-outs.
Despite the title, the images are probably engraved on metal, because wood this size was hard to work with.
Note: Holzschnitten and not Holzshnitten as i had previously!

The front cover of this huge book is a dark red; in the picture i have brightened it, thinking it probably faded over time. [more...] [$]
