Album für Kunst und Dichtung”, is regarded as one of the most significant works produced by his publishing house. For this splendid work, Trewendt was awarded the gold medal for art and science by King Friedrich Wilhelm IV. The views were drawn by Ferdinand Koska (1808–1862) and lithographed by W. Loeillot, or rather by the Mercier & Loeillot printing works in Berlin. Some foxing in places, particularly at the margins; slightly browned. Very rare.
