These are so beautiful! I guess they are made from cardboard intaglio plates with glue build up and such. Since people realized how toxic acid biting plates is ,you see more of these innovative plates.
(on a side note: I found somewhere on your site scans from Gebrauchsgraphik and checked to see if my library had any copies. They had a bunch from 1967-71. They are incredible! Thank you so much for the tipoff.)
Niels, bookvart did post some of them on his site. I indeed probably will post them some day, but the good thing about this post (for me), was that bookvart had done the scanning work. (I'm getting lazy.)
These are very interesting, exotic and wonderful. Thank you for sharing them.:~)

I love these darkly atmospheric illustrations! Thanks for sharing them. Your blog is one of my favorite sources of visual inspiration.
ReplyDeleteI have this book. The printing is pretty bad and dark but it has really nice spot illustrations in b&w. You should post them too, no?
