Plauen im Vogtland, Christian Stoll, [1908]. Oblong folio (32.1 x 48.2 cm). Title page; 24 hand-coloured engraved plates, loose in original portfolio, quarter cloth over printed boards.

A rare collection of designs for the textile industry. The Centre De Documentació I Museu Tèxtil in Terrassa states that this suite was published in 1908. A few designs, with floral elements, are comparable to those by Atelier Haebler in Stoll's Ornamentik der Gegenwart, which was published in 1905-1906. Comparing a few copies revealed that a considerable part of the colouring is in pochoir, and/or by hand. The oblong format of the portfolio is unusual. We have more often seen a 'normal-sized' portfolio. An inscription on the front board verso is dated 1909. With an oval stamp of 'F. Schaue - Dessinateur - Mulhause (Alsace)' on the blank versos (not shining through). One plate with a small dampstain, creating a red smudge; some marginal thumbing; otherwise very good, clean. Not recorded by Schneider-Henn.
