Monumental and impressive survey of Hungary in the early 20th century. The book is a masterpiece of Wiener Werkstatte aesthetic. The front cover is a splendid  multi-colored gilt pictorial masterpiece of strong design.

The endpapers, page borders, chapter heading illustrations and typography all combine to create a work of superior historical merit. The lightly glossed paper, the attention to design, the large chapter heading illustrations and fine printing methods employed create a substantial, oversized, coffee-table format volume. The binding and contents are a work of art.

pp. 400, profusion of hundreds of artistic small b&w photographic images set within beautiful surrounds and commentary.

Binding well preserved, mostly clean and with original patina. Slight rubbing, small scattered spotting or cloth wrinkle. Hinges cracked due to weight of heavy covers, overall clean example, clearly cared for old book.
