Original half-leather binding with title on front cover (slightly foxed). 5th volume of the Pan-Presse series. – Rodenberg 452, 5. – Schwarz L 82. – Books of the Bible in Martin Luther’s translation. - Corinth broke completely with the religious interpretation of the text that was customary at the time, which was often gentle or merely conventional. The depictions of the lovers and the biblical scenes possess an almost wild, vital energy that already heralds the coming of Expressionism. - Endpaper with a small corner cut-out; name on endpaper. - Includes: Swift, J., Gulliver’s Travels to the Land of the Giants. With 25 original lithographs by Lovis Corinth. Berlin, Ullstein, 1922. Folio. Original lithographic prints (slightly rubbed and browned). One of 400 copies. – Some foxing. – Includes: W.
