A late medieval German poem of advice to young and old women, Der frawen Spiegel defines the ideal qualities, activities, and virtues of married and unmarried women. This rare edition is illustrated with one of the earliest examples of a chiaroscuro woodcut. Made especially for this volume, the illustration shows two women holding up a mirror. One, provocatively dressed, represents the unmarried girl, the other, in more matronly attire, the married woman mentioned in the title.

Bethge (1876-1946) was a minor poet and fiction writer, one of whose claims to fame was that Mahler used his poems in Das Lied von der Erde. The title story in this collection of novellas describes a journey by boat from Marseille to Veracruz and one of the passengers, an enigmatic Englishman and his even stranger companion, a yellow cat with a coat “almost like saffron.” The modest Jungstil volume was designed by the German artist Leo Prochownik.
