Albert Renger-Patzsch. Die Welt ist schön: Einhundert photographische Aufhahmen. Herausgegeben und eingeleitet von Carl von Heise. (Munich: Kurt Wolff, c1928). [22] p., 100 plates.

Stunning tribute to nature. One of the most noted of all 20th-century photobooks, appearing in all the surveys (Roth, Parr, Auer, Open Book, etc.). Inscription on flyleaf from the photohistorian Van Deren Coke to the photographer Lotte Jacobi, dated 1980. Light stain to edges of a few initial text pages, not affecting plates. Rebound at some point in modern blue cloth with a leather label on spine, and the original silver-stamped vignette from the original front cover tipped inside the rear opening; some spots and stains on cover. Good.
