Complete 12 issue collection of the Hamburg-based “Trade Journal of Painters” for 1929 bound in decorated Publishers cloth with printed index, 192 pages of illustrated articles followed by 84 color plates that present a compelling record of commercial color theory in Weimar Germany. The editorial design reflects the progressive ‘neue typografie’ of the Bauhaus with bold Grotesks and black bars breaking up the traditional mise en page of the era. All aspects of commercial color are well represented in both halftone and color plate: interior design, textiles, wallpaper, murals, signage, and architectural design. A stellar record of the German applied arts circa 1929, and seemingly of utmost scarcity.
