Beschreibung

very good large Pergament with badly faded and worn small leather spine title label. Nr. 74 of 100 of Liebhaber Ausgabe bound in either full Pergament or full leather. CHODOWIECKI, DANIEL. Daniel Chodowiecki; 62 bisher unveröffentlichte Handzeichnungen zu dem Elementarwerk von Johann Bernhard Basedow. Mit einem vorwort von Max von Boehn. Frankfurt am Main: Voigtländer-Tetzner, 1922, 4pp text, 62 plates mounted on 39pp., . Veröffentlichung der Prestel-Gesellschaft - Basedow, Johann Bernhard, 1724-1790. - Von Boehn's introduction presents Basedow as an educational reformer and follower of Rousseau, and his Elementarwerk as a project detailing a new form of education based on play and daily life, rather than rote desk learning. Chodowiecki was commissioned to illustrate the volumes and worked closely with the author as well as researching the material broadly in order to create accurate drawings. This selection does appear to be a retreat from the original project, which combined text and image in a revolutionary way, and celebrates the drawings as a documentation of bourgeois life in the late 18th century. - As often the case, the luxury production has the unintended consequence of preserving the material for another century and directs us back to the original conception of Enlightenment illustration and text.
