Lenzgesind (Ein Buch von Faltern und Blumen)

Zurich and Leipzig: Totapfel, 1926.

First edition. Original green cloth spine, color pictorial paper covered boards. Color title and 12 sensational full-page color illustrations by Ernst Kreidolf. Lenzgesind originated from a collection of images which Kreidolf had set aside from unplaced works of earlier books deemed as surplus and augmented by newer illustrations. "The 63 year old Kreidolf then produced verses for the 12 illustrations, sometimes mature, sometimes humor, sometimes profound." (Haase). A fine copy in every way. A very scarce and seldom seen Kreidolf title, especially in this fine condition.
