Both Folio volumes in original oatmeal cloth. With numerous illustrations, drawings, folding maps and photographs. No dust jacket. "Following World War II, London was presented with an opportunity to amend the perceived failings of unplanned and haphazard development that had occurred as a result of rapid industrialization in the nineteenth century. During the Second World War, the blitz had destroyed large urban areas throughout the entire county of London, but particularly the central core. Over 50,000 inner London homes were completely destroyed, while more than 2 million dwellings experienced some form of bomb damage. This presented the London City Council with a unique chance to plan and rebuild vacant tracts of the city on a scale not seen since the Great Fire of London. Although the report was comprehensive in attempting to solve the issues facing London at the time, its implementation was not fully realized. The economic climate in Britain during the post war era simply did not allow for major infrastructure development on the scale that Abercrombie had suggested." (2).

Teil" (Opus XI) hat Klinger am längsten, in einem Zeitraum von 1879 bis 1904 beschäftigt. Geplant als eine Art Fortsetzung des ersten Teils "Vom Tode" entwickelte sich die Folge motivisch in einzelnen Etappen und mit mehreren Veränderungen. Auch technisch wandte sich Klinger, der seinem bildhauerischen Schaffen zunehmend mehr Zeit widmete, von der Radierung ab und dem Stichel zu. Die erste Ausgabe wurde bei Amsler & Ruthardt in Berlin 1898 schließlich verlegt. Die Bildphantasien seiner druckgraphischen Schöpfungen entspringen einer intensiven Auseinandersetzung mit der Philosophie Schopenhauers. Die Umsetzung solcher komplexen Themen wie beispielsweise die allgemeine Vergänglichkeit, die armen Massen sowie die Gipfel der Menschheit im Angesicht des Todes stellte Klinger sich zur Aufgabe. "Diese Folge ist dem inneren und äußeren Leben nach die reichste, die Klinger geschaffen hat (...) Ein Gesang auf die unvernichtbare Hoffnungsfreude des Menschen, auf seine unbesiegbare Spannkraft auch angesichts des Unabweisbaren (...)." (Singer S. 88).- Die vollständige Folge in der ersten Ausgabe mit dem Blindstempel und sämtlich mit der gestochenen Schrift in prachtvollen, kontrastreichen und vollrandigen Drucken. Titelblatt im Bug etwas eingerissen sowie schwache Faltspuren, insgesamt nur minimal gebrauchsspurig, sonst tadellos erhalten. - Wir bitten darum, Zustandsberichte zu den Losen zu erfragen, da der Erhaltungszustand nur in Ausnahmefällen im Katalog angegeben ist. - Please ask for condition reports for individual lots, as the condition is usually not mentioned in the catalogue.
