The story, filled with Freudian references, deals with the romantic obsession of an abortionist with one of his patients, leading finally to her death and his suicide - almost needless to say, this was hardly the drink of choice for Americans in the Great Depression; the print run must have been small and sales smaller still, as today the book is unexpectedly scarce in commerce, and rarely found in nice condition.

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. 'In Rosenketten' has been tipped in by a previous owner, possibly replacing the original reproduction of this work printed in the book. 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. This book is otherwise complete, which is unusual for this work. In the publisher's original pictorial cloth binding. Externally, generally smart, though faded to the spine, with small tears to the head and tail of the front joint. Shelf wear to the joints and extremities. Front hinge is starting and rear hinge is slightly strained, but both are firmly held. Internally, firmly bound. Pages are bright and clean.
