      • Miss Träumerei. 1895.
        Mar. 26, 2023

        Miss Träumerei. 1895.

        Est: $1,400 - $1,700

        ARTIST: ETHEL REED (1876-1912) SIZE: 13 5/8 x 21 3/4 in./34.8 x 55.2 cm PRINTER: Lamson, Wolffe, & Co., Boston DESCRIPTION: "Träumerei," or "dreaming," is one of Schumann's beautiful, romantic piano pieces comprising "Scenes from Childhood." Albert Morris Bagby's novel “Miss Träumerei: A Weimar Idyl” might have been set in Germany, but it was written and published exclusively in America. The author is, in fact, better known as a musician than as a writer, having studied under Liszt during the late 1850s. The image itself reflects Reed’s fondness for Japonisme, with its flat areas of simple color and the diagonally jutting chrysanthemums. (Art Nouveau; Music; Literary; American)

Condition A / A-: light creasing and discoloration in margins. Paper. Reed's biography remains a mystery within the annals of the poster world. From an early career as a book illustrator, she had a meteoric poster design career. In 1895 and 1896, Reed produced some 24 different posters, many of which achieved international acclaim. In May 1896, she went to Europe, designed one more poster, and then completely disappeared from public view. Her posters "favored female figures - if young girls, they are often knowingly naughty - frequently surrounded by either poppies or lilies, which to the fin-de-siècle mind were fraught with secret meanings" (Kiehl p. 191). Kiehl 237, DFP-I 419, Reims 1285.
