About This Item
Two Folios 42 x 31.8 cm, stiff card covers, holding publisher's orange wrappers with descriptive index on rear flap; containing 44 sheets (Blätter) which include numbered fascicules and plates. These are all loose as issued and are complete. This fourth volume of Wagner's works, "Some Sketches, Projects and Completed Buildings," which the architect issued was published in three sections. The first in 1910, the second in 1915, and the third in 1922. The two segments here include the Competition Projects for the Reichsministerium and the Technical Museum, an apartment house, the Palace of Peace in den Haag, extensive elevations and plans with gardens for the Karlsplatz and Kaiser Franz-Josef-Stadt Museum (Wagner's Opus=IV), the reconstruction of the Vienna University Library, the Villa Wagner, the reconstruction of the Royal Art Academy of Vienna, the House of Glory, the Hotel Wien. All these are accompanied by fine full-size plates of photographs and drawings of elevations, details, interiors of public buildings, monuments and residences. Many of the plates are original engravings and incorporate metallic inks. These engravings, the book design and the magnitude of architectural thinking make this publication a Secessionist masterpiece. Outer covers with minor wear, interior orange wrappers and all contents near fine. There is one library holding in North America (Columbia) for the fourth collection in the original edition. A splendid document of the era and a summit in the history of architectural publishing, with some of the architect's greatest works, rarely encountered in the market. More photos available on request.
