Maximin, Ein Gedenkbuch herausgegeben von Stefan George, Berlin: Blaetter fur die Kunst, 1907, book design by Melchior Lechter, with portrait frontispiece of Maximin (Maximilien Kronberger) after a photograph by Stefan George, decorative title-page printed in red and black, text printed in red and black, with elaborate decorative border deisgns by Lechter, all edges gilt, original full vellum decorated in gilt designed by Melchior Lechter, some minor handling marks and light soiling (generally a very good copy), folio (34.5 x 26.5 cm) (Qty: 1)NOTESProvenance: 1) Horst Kretschmann Winckelmann, with his circular printed bookplate to recto of limitation leaf before title. 2) Eduard Rosenbaum (1887-1979), Anglo-German economist and librarian. Landmann 209; Raub A 63. Number 164 of 200 copies. A lavish poetic tribute to the young Munich student, gymnast and budding poet Maximilian Kronberger (1888-1904), who died of meningitis a day after his sixteenth birthday. Kronberger joined the literary circle around Stefan George in 1902, and developed an intense homoerotic friendship with George, who idolised the youth and beauty of the young man. Following his death, George immortalised Maximin in this collection of poems by Kronberger himself, Stefan George, Friedrich Gundolf, Karl Wolfskehl, Lothar Treuge and Oskar Dietrich, and the ensuing myth of the doomed young poet became a central theme of the George Kreis or Circle.

A Venetian engraved bronze serving bowl, second half 16th century, of waisted and bellied form, engraved with horizontal bands of Arabesques and grotesques and two cartouches flanked by lion bearers engraved with a coat of arms and a Doge’s portrait respectively, later mounted on three foliate topped hairy paw feet, 19cm high, 26cm diameter 16th century Venice was a thriving centre for intricately engraved brass and bronze wares, inspired by Ottoman and Mamluk examples encountered in the Republic’s trade with the eastern Mediterranean. Though many Veneto-Saracenic items were imported into Venice, the present bowl is almost certainly of Italian manufacture. As Sylvia Auld has described in Renaissance Venice, Islam and Mahmud The Kurd, neatly compartmentalised decoration within definite borders is a tell-tale sign of Italian craftsmanship emulating the fashionable style. The local heraldry and Doge’s portrait are further signs that this vessel is of Venetian make. The arms engraved to one of the cartouches could possibly be a stylised version of those of the patrician Marcello family Cf Sotheby’s London, Old Master Sculpture and Works of Art, 3rd December 2014, lot 69 for a larger Venetian service of similar style and date FURTHER READING: S.
