	(ARCHITECTURE.] HITZIG, Fr(iedrich). Ausgefuehrte Bauwerke. Berlin: Ernst & Korn, (1850). Folio, two volumes bound as one. Volume one contains 30 plates; volume two contains 38 plates. First edition of this magnificent architectural record of the buildings designed by Hitzig, many of which graced the city of Berlin. Each of the buildings depicted was actually constructed, thereby serving as an invaluable record of many structures that were completely destroyed during World War Two. Hitzig was employed to design a variety of buildings, and each is represented in the book: simple farm structures, townhouses, villas, chateauxs, banks, arenas, exhibition halls of all kinds, banks, clubs, and government buildings. Most of the buildings are accompanied by superb chromolithographic elevations followed by detailed plans. The style of Hitzig's work ranges from romanesque through Italianate to neo-classical. Occasionally internal design appointments and color schemes are depicted as well. The text of volume one appears in French, German, and English. By volume two the publisher had dropped the English text (denoting, perhaps, poor sales). The supplementary plates are all present. A beautifully produced book, and exceedingly rare: NUC locates only two copies. A very good copy in contemporary half-morocco, with some light scattered spotting and a circular private ownership stamp at two locations. Show details...	8,500.00
