[HOFFMAN, JOSEF].

Viribus Unitis: Das Buch vom Kaiser.

Vienna Max Herzig (c. 1898) Large folio. xxiv, 322pp. With illustrations by fifteen artists, including Wiener Werkstatte co-founders Josef Hoffmann and Kolomon Moser. This massive tribute to Emperor Franz Josef I includes three color plates by Moser lavishly ornamented with gold and various decorations by Hoffmann in what is certainly among the first examples of German Art Nouveau style. Moser's work stands in contrast with the more Romantic and conventional style of the other illustrations in this work. Bound in full umber morocco with a two-piece decorative metalwork frame on the upper cover, which has a deeply recessed center panel featuring a glass-jewelled metal crown at the center within a frame of painted laurel wreaths. Below the crown are the raised-metal and white enamel initials of the Emperor. A sculpted metal fore-edge clasp is anchored on the upper cover with colored enamel ornaments. Four brass-colored bosses on the lower cover. A.e.g. Slight bowing and minimal wear, else fine. With original box, which is broken. (Wiener Werkstatte).
