SUPPLEMENT-BAND ZU BILZ DAS NEUE NATURHEILVERFAHREN.
Leipzig: F. E. Bilz. Hard Cover. First Edition. 1059 pp. Front cover and spine have elaborate Art Nouveau illustrations and decorations. Front cover depicts a woman comforting a man in poor health and holding out the promise of good health in the form of a plate of fresh fruit, sunshine and a return to nature. Front cover and spine had gilt accents, which have now faded. Covers and spine are somewhat aged, soiled and shelf-worn. Covers are cracked along spine hinges. Spine ends and corners are bumped, worn and frayed. Text, in German, is accompanied by numerous b/w illustrations and occasional color illustrations. Volume begins with a full color, very detailed and elaborate, layered, fold-out of the female reproductive system and adjacent organs, including a baby, in the head down position, in the womb. Even if you don't read old German, just looking at the pictures is fascinating. Many of them make you wish you could read old German, so some of the illustrations would made more sense. Interior is aged, but clean, crisp and tight. Very Good.
