Rewolucja w Niemczech. [Revolution in Germany.]

Lodz - Warsaw: Książka i sztuka, 1919. Illustrated throughout by Arthur Szyk. First edition. In publisher’s illustrated brown wrappers, printed in red. Bound with red string. (16) leaves. Wrappers chipped, some leaves with crumple, spine somewhat worn. Otherwise firm and clean. Overall in very good condition.

Szyk's first published completely illustrated book, an extremely scarce, satirical anti-German illustrated work.

Arthur Szyk, together with the poet Julian Tuwim, created this book, a fully illustrated political satire, mocking the authoritarian German nation, their irrational fascination with revolution and Norse mythology.

Arthur Szyk (1894–1951) was a Polish-Jewish graphic artist, book illustrator, and political artist. This, his very first book of political illustrations published with the poem written by the satirical, experimental poet of Jewish descent, Julian Tuwim (1894–1953).
