Hamsun, Knut

Pan. Aus Leutnant Thomas Glahns Papieren. [Berechtigte Übertragung von J.Sandmeier]

[München: Rupprecht-Presse, 1924] A beautiful copy of this masterpiece by Nobel laureate Hamsun, the twenty- eighth publication of the Rupprecht-Presse of Munich, founded by Fritz Helmut Ehmcke in 1913. In the Festschrift dedicated to Anna Simons published by the Corona Press in 1938, Emcke recalled that it was Simons who taught him the methods of Edward Johnston in 1905, and that it was “above all the manner in which she communicated this knowledge that she exercised such a profound influence upon my work.” Johnston wrote of her, “Anna Simons was one of the best Students (perhaps, in some things the best Student) I have ever taught. She had a natural aptitude for the Work and a sincerity and directness of outlook which enabled her to master the essential elements very rapidly, and later, to develop it into her own practical and beautiful Work.” Simons translated Johnston's classic work, Writing Illuminating and Lettering, into German in 1910 (SIMONS, ANNA) No. 3 of 250 copies printed by hand under the supervision of F.H. Emcke. 4to. With hand-gilded initial by Anna Simons. Pp. [4, blank], [1]-133, [1, imprint]. Yellow and black patterned paper over boards, printed spine label, uncut edges. Initial and terminal gatherings open, linen tapes firm, else fine. Anna Simons, Schriften der Corona VIII, 1938
