About the Item

Il Castello del Sogno is an original modern rare book written by Enrico Annibale Butti (Milan, 1868 - Milan, 1912) and illustrated by Alberto Martini (Oderzo, 1876 – Milan, 1954) in 1910. Original Second Edition. Published by Treves, Milan. Format: Large 8°. The dimensions and the weight are indicative. The book includes 224 pages with several full page plates. Good conditions. Alberto Martini (Oderzo, 1876 - Milan, 1954) was an Italian draftsman, painter, engraver and illustrator, forerunner of the surrealist movement. Visiting the house-museum in his hometown, one gets the impression of being in front of a painter, but above all a "French" illustrator. He was a notable portrait painter. He reached the pinnacle of success with the theater on the water and was back in Paris in the twenties until 1934. Certain lithographs were very modern, above all The Kiss from 1915. The book has been written by Enrico Annibale Butti (Milan, 1868 - Milan, 1912) was an Italian writer and playwright. From 1892 to 1897, he wrote psychological novels, characterized by the dualism of dream / reality and the difference of views between the ideals of the fathers and those of the new generation. These themes were taken up again in his plays, thanks to which he became famous and well-known in the Italian cultural sphere.

Original early 20th Century German signed lithograph by Marcus Behmer
By Marcus Behmer
Located in Petworth, West Sussex
Marcus Behmer (German, 1879 – 1958) Die Geravbte orchidee (The robbed orchid), 1903 Signed ‘Marcus Behmer’ (lower right in pencil) Lithograph on paper 16.1/8 x 12in. (40.8 x 30.5cm.) It is apparent Behmer is influenced by the work of Aubrey Beardsley, though this work is no less beautiful in its execution. Little is known regarding his connections to Oscar Wilde though he is obviously an admirer and has many similarities with his private life and incarceration in prison. These works were a personal gift to Baron Detlev von Hadeln, the aristocrat and prominent art historian of the age. Behmer is known to be, since 1903, a member in the first ever homosexual organization in Berlin and was thus probably a part of Adolf Brand’s circle, and may have contributed to Brand’s publication Der Eigene. Until now, few know that Behmer was sentenced in April 1937 by a court in Konstanz to imprisonment for two years, being arrested in Freiburg and at other locations in southern Germany for being a homosexual. At times he was given the opportunity to work as an artist in prison. The works produced in this period are mostly calligraphic designed tablets with Greek text (prayers and Bible quotes...
