Stella Peregrina: achtzehn Faksimile-Nachbildungen nach den Originalen by Franz Marc(1880–1916) has a beautifully marbled cover, but what is inside is even more intriguing. There are 18 facsimile reproductions of Marc’s drawings, hand-colored by Annette von Eckardt, each accompanied by German poems by different authors. Between 1904 and 1909, Marc worked on the illustrations of poems by Emil Prinz, Gustav Renner, Richard Dehmel, Carmen Sylva and many others. The illustrations in this book have a somewhat melancholy nature, which reflects Marc’s emotional state at that time—pessimism due to troubled love affairs.1

This oversized book was published posthumously by Franz Hanfstaengl in Munich in 1917 as a limited edition of 110 items. It includes an introduction by Hermann Bahr (1863–1934), an Austrian writer, playwright, director and critic on Expressionism. The Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum Library Special Collections has copy no. 20 of 110.
