Plate #19/30.From Gustav Klimt An Aftermath, Max Eisler, Editor, Vienna, 1931, Austrian State Printing Office. 30 color collotypes, 150 copies in English. Of those 20 copies (nos I - XX) were offered as a gala edition bound in gilt leather. According to Eisler, this portfolio was intended to complete Das Werk Gustav Klimts, yet it stands as an independent creation. The presence of images of unfinished paintings (Adam and Eve; Bridal Progress) as well as previously unpublished works gives the portfolio unique value.
