A wonderfully illustrated first edition copy of this celebration of the work of Ephraim Moses Lilien, in the original German. One of 1000 Limited Edition copies printed of first edition of this work in the publisher's original pictorial cloth binding. An important and uncommonly found work, celebrating the art of Ephraim Moses Lilien (1874-1925), an art nouveau illustrator and printmaker who is sometimes considered first Zionist artist. He was notable for the Jewish themes in his art, and for his influence on the Bezalel school art movement. This work is introduced by the Austrian writer Stefan Zweig (1881-1942), who, in the 1920s and 1930s, was one of the most popular authors in the world. The work contains numerous reproductions of Lilien's bookplates, borders and illustrations, as well as a portrait of Lilien with a facsimile of his signature.

Further tipped-in illustrations (created by Lilien) from a previous owner to pages 59, 60, 61, 214, 215, and 302. One tipped-in illustration obscures a different illustration printed in the book, another obscures a title of a work; the rest are tipped-in to blank pages.
