This anthology presents the most beautiful images Lothar Schirmer has come across in his work as a publisher, works he wanted to secure for his private collection and for the cover design of future Schirmer/Mosel books. Poets, art historians, fashion designers, and journalists contribute literary miniatures on individual images in the book, Isabella Rossellini has written a short essay on the collector, and Lothar Schirmer explains the motifs and variations of his collection.
