[WITH] A collection of 14 original b/w photographs from the same Vilna Ghetto Project by Moï Ver, originally taken circa 1928. 12 of the photographs are smaller sized, measuring on average, approximately 4 1/2 x 3", with some variation in the cut dimensions. There are also 2 larger images, one measuring 5 1/4 x 7 1/2" showing the roof of the Great Synagogue of Vilna and the largest showing the gate of the synagogue's courtyard, measuring 8 1/4x 11 1/2". Surprisingly none of these evocative and striking images of the Vilna Ghetto and its inhabitants were used ultimately used in the book, but many are quite similar to the images which did get used. These photographs are likely later prints made from the original negatives, and all contain the ink stamp of the acclaimed phtographer's studio in Tel Aviv, on the verso. The versos of the two larger images also include notes in pen in German, with one dated to 1928.

Hardcover. Zustand: Very good. Octavo Format 7 6/8 x 5 1/8" and issue Nos. 18, 20, 32, 37, 38, 39, 41, 43 at 9 x 6 1/8". Original quarter cloth in various colors over photo-illustrated boards with the exception of issue 43, this bound in softcover. Initiated and edited by the art historian Emil Schaeffer. According to Heiting/Jäger the series may have been designed by Wilhelm Friedrich Burger. Towards the end of 1930 the book format was slightly enlarged. Rare complete set including advertising material and ephemera. Photo-illustrated series of books on issues of interests of the time, including such topics as the revolutionary film in Russia, the new architecture and living conditions, the Zeppelin and x-rays but also popular topics like sports and the Olympics, film, dance and photography. Traditional culture is represented by works on Goethe and Wagner and a special issue on the Attic Greeks. Specialized issues treat topics like the Ghetto in Wilna, beauty in technology or body culture. The extensive number of photographs illustrating the volumes are printed on glossy paper with at times light coloration. The series is designed for the modern human being, introducing the world in pictures in an affordable format with introductions of known authors and photographers, e.g. Theodor Däubler, Egon Friedell, Adolf Behne, and others. The known photographers represented are Albert Renger-Patzsch, Walter Hege and M. Vorobeichic, among others, and architects from the top echelon of architecture of the time like Le Corbusier, Richard Neutra, Mart Stam, among others, are introduced as well. The heterogenious choice of subjects and pictorial material provides a representative spectrum of the work being done in photography and other artistic fields of the time around 1930. The collection contains an eight page photo-illustrated advertising leporello from the publisher and six printed order forms produced at different times of its publication. The proposed volumes numbered 16, 22, 34, 35, and 42 were never published. The 38 issues of the series did not always appear in the order of the numbers and the imprint may not correspond to the actual date of publication. Most of the volumes are in very good condition, with some issues rubbed or containing previous owner's names and some foxing of text pages. Includes one illustrated eight page folded leparello introducing the first twenty-five issues of Schaubücher and six postcards of the publisher to order Schaubücher issues. 1.
