We offer for Sale:

1. GERMAN TOURIST BUREAU IN VIENNA AND LUFTWAFFE ON EVE OF THE ANSCHLUSS IN:

Koch, Alexander. INNEN-DEKORATION. DIE GESAMTE WOHNUNGSKUNST IN BILD 
UND WORT. BAND XLIX: DAS BEHAGLICHE HEIM. Darmstadt-Stuttgart: 
Verlagsanstalt Alexander Koch, 1938. [3], 422 pp, + index [4 pp]. 
Illus. with 425 b/w photos (most half or full page), six plans, and 
five color plates. Stamped white cloth with beveled boards 
(hardback).  First edition.

The year was devoted to modern work primarily but not exclusively on 
German and Austrian interior design including an over-the-top studio 
apartment created in black and white by Hendirk Sendker, the work of 
Otto Bauer (including both a large villa near Paris and a fabulous 
folding corner bar for an apartment), and an Andre Arbus children's 
room. 1938 was also the year of the Anschluss (on the morning of 
March 12th, troops of the German Wehrmacht and the SS crossed the 
German-Austrian border), and so it is somewhat ironic to see in the 
March issue (clearly printed earlier) an article on the design of the 
Vienna offices of the Reichsbahnzentrale fur den Deutschen 
Reiseverkehr (RDV), the German tourist bureau, by Josef Becvar and 
Viktor Rusczka - fine modern design, marred only by a large 
photograph of Hitler in the waiting room, an oil portrait of him in 
one office, and a photograph of Goebbels in a second office. The 
September issue shows the designs of Community space for the 
Luftwaffe. Also includes the work of Josef Beevar, Anne Charlotte 
Berndt, Fritz August Breuhaus, Alois Degano, Josef F. Dex, Ernst 
Dobler, Fritz Gaulke, Oswald Haerdtl, Edgar Horstmann, Wilhem Michel, 
Bruno Moretti, Karl Nothhelfer, Bruno Paul, Bernard Pfau, Anton 
Possenbacher, Oskar Reidel, Jean Royere. Ulla Snitt, Emile Viet, and 
many others. Inner-Dekoration ran from 1900 until 1944. German text. 
A very good copy with moderate foxing on boards and endpapers, in a 
good repaired and soiled dust jacket, chipped at the spine ends.
