"Respectfully dedicated to Mr. Franz Dittmar teacher by the association Lithographia Senefelderfeier 1887". (Nbg.?) 1887. cl.fol. calligraphic dedication leaf and 22 cardboard sheets with altogether 60 (58 mounted) chromolithogr. illustr. lots in cloth portfolio d. With gold embossed word "Souvenir" on front cover (dusty, worn and rubbed, partly stained, clasp defective). Adhesive album as a commemorative gift for the teacher and writer Franz Dittmar (1857-1915). The album contains colorful and extraordinarily high-quality chromolithographs of historicism in formats between 10:11 and 18:13 cm, mostly 2-4 each on a cardboard sheet. There are landscape motifs (31; including 4 idealized views of windmills after L. H. White and 4 views of Kenilworth Castle), genre scenes with children (6; probably illustrations for children's books), breasts of girls and small children (8; monogrammed "FB", probably after Myles Birket Foster (1824-1899), soldiers (2; after Frank Feller), flowers (4) and anthropomorphic depictions of animals (8; cat, dog, goat and frog playing music and frogs engaged in human activities, probably after Antonio Munez Degrain (1843-1924). One of the panels is the size of a sheet and not mounted. It can be assumed that the illustrations come from a single chromolithographic establishment, possibly that of the Nuremberg publisher Stroefer. Some illustrations with undeciphered monograms: WB, EHH, JG, L.M. One sheet (slightly larger, not mounted) with a chromolithograph by Franz v. Stuck and co-printed text by Franz Dittmar: "Erinnerung an San Remo", on the return of Frederick III as German Emperor from his spa stay in San Remo. Nuremberg, L. Ammersdorfer, (1888). - Internally clean and spotless, the plate by F. v. Stuck with faint creases in the white margin. D
