About the Item
Rare and beautifully produced, this small booklet of poetry by Alfred Richard Meyer was published in 1921 with a stylized cover illustration by Richard Scheibe depicting two archers with angel wings, standing back to back, one nude and the other clothed in modern dress. Scheibe is best known for his bronze nudes, highly coveted, but his works on paper are very rare. Here he collaborated with Meyer, who was known for being a gourmand, a cabaret-goer, a nude bather and a poet with a fanciful, humorous approach to the arts. Meyer placed his poetry in a pale brown cover, with an oval blue label, and hand-addressed it to his clients.

"Nude Archer, " Bold Ink Drawing with Male Nude, Influenced by Klimt
By Erwin Stolz
Located in Philadelphia, PA
Bold and atmospheric, this ink drawing depicts a kneeling nude male figure, his bow arched and his arrow ready to spring forward, surrounded by a flower-bedecked landscape that clearly draws its inspiration from Gustav Klimt's work. To the left, silhouetted against the dark background, a pair of stylized geese -- evidently his target -- are shown flying upward. The sun which dapples the figure of the archer highlights his lithe musculature, and the artist -- Erwin Stolz -- gives the same close attention to the landscape behind. Stolz was well connected to the artistic elite of Vienna, and was friends with Alexander Rothaug...

"Art Deco/Art Nouveau Nudes, " Rare Prints with Silver
Gold Highlights by Coyle
By Ray Frederick Coyle
Located in Philadelphia, PA
This remarkable and stunning set of six sensuous prints, highlighted in gold and silver ink, was published and bound by John Henry Nash in 1926 to honor the life of his frequent collaborator, Ray Frederick Coyle. Coyle had died an early death, prompting Nash to issue this volume in a limited edition of 210 (this example is number 54), dedicating it to Albert Maurice Bender and William Randolph Keltie Young. Nash had established his own press 10 years before, and was dubbed by one admirer "The Aldus of San Francisco." Coyle illustrated several books published by Nash, including "Jurgen: A Comedy of Justice" and "The Sermon on the Mount...
