As Ballett und Pantomime was produced not long after the end of WW1, Schnackenberg attracted attention with his creations. His figures and drawings make it clear that in dance and pantomime, the people felt they could reclaim the right to rejoice in the beauty of the body, in animated movement, in colour, in costume, in performance.

First edition, one of 850 unnumbered copies (alongside a further 50 numbered copies), of this superb suite of costume designs. Schnackenberg was a central figure in Munich's post-war theatrical culture, designing costumes, scenery, and posters distinguished by bold colour and stylized form. "He was no copier; he had his own marvellous, distinctive style and he too could bring with few and sure strokes and intelligent use of luminous colours - always flat, shadowless colours - a great deal of power and vibrance. German art in the twenties has been forced into 'Bauhaus' or 'Art Deco' moulds, [and] there has usually been very little space, if any, for the work of this genius whose style doesn't fit either of these categories" (Terry & Rennert, p. 9). Walter Terry and Jack Rennert, 100 Years of Dance Posters, 1975. Folio. With 22 coloured plates, some heightened in gold or silver, each tipped-on to numbered card, and 4 letterpress sheets, loosely inserted as issued into card chemise with title and pictorial onlay to front cover. Housed in a custom-made grey cloth solander box. The plate leaves are clean and bright, though possibly cleaned - there is a note in the box, "text leaves only de-acidified"; a couple of plate leaves are a little bumped at the edges. The chemise is spotted, the spine repaired and dilapidated but still holding. Overall, a good copy.

First edition. Schnackenberg was a central figure in Munich's post-war theatrical culture, designing costumes, scenery, and posters distinguished by bold colour and stylized form. This volume gathers his work in superb reproductions. "He was no copier; he had his own marvellous, distinctive style and he too could bring with few and sure strokes and intelligent use of luminous colours - always flat, shadowless colours - a great deal of power and vibrance to his posters. So much of poster criticism and history relating to German art in the twenties has been forced into 'Bauhaus' or 'Art Deco' moulds, that there has usually been very little space, if any, for the work of this genius whose style doesn't fit either of these categories" (Terry & Rennert, p. 9). Walter Terry and Jack Rennert, 100 Years of Dance Posters, 1975. Quarto. With photographic frontispiece and 7 similar plates, 35 lithographic plates of which 30 in colour. Original pictorial boards. Rebacked in cloth, restoration at extremities, new endpapers, reinforcement in gutters, scattered slight foxing. A good copy.
