32.5 x 24.5 cm. 143 pages. With 32 signed original etchings by Willy Jaeckel, including 17 full-page copies. Red original morocco binding on seven ribs, with spine title, gilt box, cover fillets, gilt lettering on the sides and inside edges, and gilt head edges. (Signed: Bruno Scheer, Berlin). One of 15 copies of the absolute deluxe edition on Japanese parchment with 64 signed original etchings in duplicate before all text. A collection of poetry by Richard Dehmel, one of the co-founders of the magazine "Pan." In Dehmel's second book, "But Love," all forms of love appear once again: restless in tone, rapturous, yearning, demonic. The text was rearranged with the consent of Dehmel's heirs; to the displeasure of his widow, no spacing was used. The expressive and decorative etchings are by Willy Jaeckel, an important representative of German Expressionism and a member of the Berlin Secession and the Prussian Academy of Arts. This edition is one of the finest works of German book art. Presented in a magnificent morocco binding by Bruno Scheer. Immaculately preserved. - Sennewald 22,1. - Hayn/Gotendorf IX,122.
