Briefe an eine Tänzerin (Letters to a Female Dance)

Stuttgart: Walter Seifert, 1922. First edition. Hardcover. Octavo. 87 (1)pp. Original red paper-covered boards with black borders and lettering on cover and spine. Frontispiece photograph. Decorative double border on title page. Dramatic, prosaic and ironic descriptions of various dancers and dance performances, famous and average, by the German journalist and writer Fred Hildenbrandt. "The pictures in this book show female dancers who are known, unknown or forgotten. Some are shown twice, and others who are not shown here may be greater dancers as the ones shown. Some of them will live forever, others are just an echo or soft sound in the world of dance. There is no point in calling out their names, they are all breath, color, streaming music, fates, one way or the other; they came like those and they will go, like those." Illustrated with nine full page b/w offset reproductions of dancers, including frontispiece. Photographs by the Studio Nini and Harry Hess, Frankfurt. Text in German. Binding with light wear and light sunning along edges and spine. Book block age-toned. Binding and interior in overall good condition. g. Item #45034
