Here are scans of a limited edition piece by underappreciated Bauhaus guy Richard Koppe. I bought this for $3 in a garage sale in the Western suburbs of Chicago.

There is very little info on the internet or even at the library about Richard Koppe. He hung out with Moholy-Nagy and other Bauhaus heavyweights as a professor at the Institute of Design at IIT here in Chicago.

The drawings are thin clever abstract representations of fish and birds. Each is one its own page and the priniting is exquisite.

The typography is by Frank Barr, another guy I can’t get a lot of info on. Marvelous stuff.
