Paginated consecutively over the course of the year, but each issue contains about 30 pp. with bw and sometimes color illustrations. All text in German. A nearly-complete run covering the year from October 1900 to September 1901… of this popular artwork magazine. These issues all cover works of the Art Nouveau style, popular at that time.
