Berlin, Germany, Propylaen Verlag, 1974. First Edition. Hardcover. Size: 4to 11" - 13" tall. Gorgeous looking volume, massively heavy, with several hundred illustrations on nearly as many plates and additional text drawings, of German language art and social history of traditional cultures and countries, bound handsomely in a gray linen cloth over boards, and gilt lettering stamped sharply into burgundy cloth label (of volume title) and blue cloth label (of series title), pasted onto the gray cloth spines. Top-stained in yellow, remarkably bright and unmarked of interior.
