‎München, Hyperion Verlag Hans von Weber, 1912. Large 4to. (Binding: 283 x 205 cm). Bound uncut, with top edge gilt, in a truly magnificent, innovative mechanical binding, made of light grey polycarbonate, by Edgard Claes. Internally very nice and clean, with only a few occasional very minor light brown spots. Printed on thick, heavy paper (Büttenpapier) with watermarks.

The boards, with exposed hinges, are with numerous cut-out shapes revealing 12 cogwheels (to each board) of varying sizes inside. The boards consist of three layers, with the cogwheels in the middle" they are all striped in shades of orange, pastel blue, yellow and purple, white and grey. Five tips of the largest cogwheel on both boards protrude at the middle of the boards, so that the cogwheels can be turned, creating a mechanical mirage throughout the boards. The spine has the title and publishing year in black letters on white and grey vertical stripes. The block is bound with fishing line, which is visible on the upper and lower part of the spine. Dark blue velvet end-papers. Both covers of the chemise with black/grey white illustration being a stylized vue of a Venice canal. Onside covered in blue velvet.

This leaf also carries a stamp of the monastery with Claes' name. ‎

‎Very scarce first edition of Thomas Mann's disturbing masterpiece Der Tod in Venedig in a rare one-of-a-kind bookbinding by the renowned, international prize-winning bookbinder Brother Edgard Claes. Probably the most famous story of obsession ever written, ""The Death in Venice"" is considered one of the most important literary productions of the 20th century. This first edition of the book was printed in merely 100 copies, which are all numbered"" this being copy nr. 32/100. Probably due to the controversial theme of the work, Thomas Mann was hesitant about immediately handing over the manuscript to his regular publisher S. Fisher and had settled on the bibliophile edition already before finishing the work. He did give Fischer the work to publish, though, and thus it came to appear both in Fischer's magazine ""Neue Rundschau"", in two volumes, and with Weber's Hyperionverlag. While the first part of the work was being published, the luxury edition was being prepared, and in the end, the luxury edition was only issued (shortly) after the second and final part had appeared in November 1912. The first trade edition appeared in 1913.A symbol-laden story of aestheticism and decadence: ""[S]ymbols of eros and death weave a subtle pattern in the sensuous opulence of this tale"" (Pascal 2026). As in other of Mann's works from the start of the 20th century, he here explores the role of the artist in society. It also exemplifies the author’s regard for Sigmund Freud’s writings on the unconscious. This work closes an epoch of Mann's work. (see Britannica, 2025) Katia Mann, Mann's wife, wrote in her memoir from 1974 that he had not intended to write this novel, which he ended up working on for a whole year. He wanted to write a novel about Goethe but did not believe he was up to such a task yet. Thus, he transposed the Goethe novel into Death in Venice (Mann 1975: 60). The physical apperance of the character Aschenbach was inspired by Gustav Mahler's situation before he died: While in Venice in 1911, Mann was following the bulletins reporting Mahler's condition. The Manns knew and had met Mahler personally: ""My husband told me that Gustav Mahler was the first person he'd ever met who gave him the impression of being a great man"" (Mann 1975: 65). Mann also attributed to Aschenback the works he himself never completed. Overall, the story was inspired from several real-life experiences, icluding their travels to Brioni, the cholera epidemic in 1911, and the fascination with a charming Polish boy, as described in detail in Katia Mann's memoirs (see Mann 1975: pp. 60-67). ""The whole thing had an interesting epilogue. Death in Venice was a great success, especially in America, and the novella is certainly one of my husband's best. A few years ago Erika received a letter from an elderly Polish aristocrat, a count, who wrote that something funny had happened. Some time ago friends had brought him the Polish translation of a novella in which he an his whole family were described to a T"" he found this very amusing and intriguing. But he was not offended. Such was the end of the 'real' story."" (Katia Mann 1975: 63-64) The binding: Brother Edgard Claes, monk in the Crosier Order, was born in Belgium and now lives and works in the Monastery of Saint Agatha, the oldest inhabited monastery in the Netherlands, with only two other Crosier monks left. He is one of the most prominent bookbinders in the world and his bindings are already ones of legend. He was educated as a classical hand bookbinder, but soon started looking for alternative and innovative forms and materials for his bindings. He studied at Instituut voor Kunst en Ambacht (IKA) in Mechelen, and later under the Belgian master bookbinder August Kulche (1927-2003). Edgard Claes is also an accomplished painter, sculptor, stained glass maker. Since 1990, he has been making his bookbindings mainly from polycarbonate, which he processes with a computer-controlled milling machine and colors with airbrush, using car paint and a clear varnish to finish off. These bindings, especially the ""mechanical"" ones, with moveable parts, are among the most interesting and sought-after modern bookbindings. They are totally unique and unlike anything one will have seen anywhere else, often reflecting on the contents of the book that they hold. They are, furthermore, few and very scarce. In 2025, there was a 3-year waiting period for new orders.

‎Two manuscript journals of travels on Continental Europe, including Waterloo, Cologne, the Rhine, the Alps, Geneva, Chamonix and Mont Blanc, and Italy, ‎

‎ ca. 1853 - 1858. in-8vo, First journal: 90 leafs illustrated with: 18 dried plants (with name and origin), 14 hand-coloured aquatints or engravings, 11 uncoloured engravings, 1 chromolith. of the Strassbourg clock, 6 tinted lithographs.Second journal: 78 leafs illustrated with: 3 dried plants, 11 hand-coloured aquatints or engravings, 19 uncoloured engravings and two photographs of paintings. Contemporary half calf / Contemporary limp calf,‎

‎Each manuscript is dated on its first page and has the name ,Bertha Henrietta Horatio Mann’ on it. Bertha Mann was the daughter of Horatio Mann, Rector of Mawgan in Meneage, the youngest of 8 children, born in 1836 in Cornwall. However at the time of these travels the family was living at ,Winchester House’, Newchurch, Isle of Wight, and the father had died. The Mann family appear from the 1851 census to have been living in some style, with a footman, ladies maid, housemaid and cook. Bertha travelled with her sister and they were also accompanied by ,Henry’, who organised their travels but is otherwise untraceble The sisters first tour began April 19th 1854, leaving Dieppe and visiting Waterloo: „a few trees still remain and bear marks of the French cannon-shot“. One of the dried plants was collected at Waterloo. They travel to Cologne, take a steamer up the Rhine and, among other places, visit the house of Frankfurt where the Family has once lived and where their brother „dear Horatio“ had had a fatal accident aged 14. Bertha begins her account in English, but about half way through switches to German. The tour ends in October. Appended to this tour is an account of an earlier tour, begun August 30th 1854, from Dieppe to the Alps, with visits to Geneva, Courmayeur, Chamonix and Aosta. They visit the ,Mer de Glace’ on mules: „when we arrived at Montanvert we descended and walked a little way on the Mer de Glace with the help of the guide’s hand and Alpenstock... „They ascended the Col de la Seigne „summit of the Brevent 8500 ft. above the sea level“, making long journeys on mules. Bertha collected plants on the Montanvert, the Brevent, and Chamonix, and three of these feature in the album, each identified and dated by her.In 1858, Bertha set off again with her sisters Sophia, Ada, Louisa and with Henry. Bertha describes a visit in Florence, such as the Grand Duke’s Mosaic Manufactory, and some artist studios: „Sophy, Ada & I visited Cambi’s studio - we then went to Menconi’s and saw the ,sleeping child’. Menconi is now doing Henry’s bust and a vase etc...“ Powers (the American Sculptor) and several other studios. They continued to Rome, via Civitavecchia. At St. Peters they see the Pope distribute palms (“Henry procured tickets for us from the Major Duomo“). Image disp.‎
