1982 Wer kann die Wahrheit nackend sehn? Five fabulists. Holzstiche von Harald Metzkes. Slipcase with five folded pages. Leipzig: Verlag Karl Quarch. €33.88 from Leipziger Antiquariat, Oct., '21.
This fascinating work is a set of five folded pages -- each with four folds about 4" by 8¼' -- brought together in a slipcase that offers a title on one side and a T of C on the other. For safety's sake, I am listing this work both as a book and as a set of printed woodcuts. The five fabulists are Gotthold Ehraim Lessing. Five fascinating fable texts are transformed into strong woodcuts, 3½" by up to 4½". It seems to me that the texts all have something to do with reverencing art. I am delighted to have come across this unusual effort!
