Nyburg, Anna FROM LEIPZIG TO LONDON: THE LIFE AND WORK OF THE ÉMIGRÉ ARTIST HELLMUTH WEISSENBORN.
New Castle, Delaware Oak Knoll Press 2012 6 x 9 inches hardcover, dust jacket 192 pages
German-born artist Hellmuth Weissenborn (1898-1982) spent the first half of his life in his native Leipzig and the second in London. He was forced to flee his homeland in early 1939 in the face of Nazi terror and found refuge in Britain. Unlike many of his fellow refugees, he never lost his sense of German heritage. In this biography, the cultural baggage that he brought with him is explored: life in Weimar Germany, especially in the book arts, is the cultural context of his early life.

After his conscription into service in World War I he returned home with diaries and sketchbooks and enrolled at the world-famous Leipzig Academy of Graphic and Book Arts, studying art, typography, and printmaking. Artistic success came early, and soon he moved up into the staff, becoming one of the Academy's youngest professors. When the Nazis took power, he lost his post for marrying a Jewish woman and was forced to leave Germany.

In Britain, the 40-year-old Weissenborn struggled to find work, and was interned for six months on the Isle of Man in 1940. This resulted in an intensively productive artistic output but also led to the end of his first marriage. On release he embarked on a new phase in his career as printmaker, teacher, and publisher. His second marriage proved to be a creative partnership: he and his wife ran the Acorn Press together.

New unpublished material in the form of Weissenborn's World War I diary, letters from his first wife, and interviews with his former students and colleagues help to give an impression of the man and his life in this first full biography of the artist. Family photographs that survived his exile underpin the narrative of his life, while his versatile artistic output is reflected in the many illustrations.

Anna Nyburg is a lecturer in German at Imperial College London. She completed an MA in 1974 at the University of East Anglia in European Literature, and in 2009 she was awarded a PhD in Exile Studies at the University of London, the subject of which was the German-speaking refugees from Nazism to Britain who either created art publishing companies, or who made contributions as book artists, typographers, or designers.

First edition. The collection of George Granville Levison-Gower (1758-1833), 2nd Marquis of Stafford. His collection of engravings was particulary strong in various Continental schools and is arranged in six "classes": (1) Lower Italy, (2) Upper Italy, (3) Germany, Switzerland, Flanders and Holland, (4) Spain, (5) France, and (6) Britain. The works are arranged by school and are in chronological order. Dedicated to the King (George III), the Prince of Wales, and the Earl of Dartmouth. An "advertisement" explains the classification and arrangement. Following that are thirteen plates of scaled drawings of the Marquis of Stafford's gallery in London, which show the location of each painting.
W.M. Craig drew the reductions, then transferred to copper plates by some of the best engravers then working in England, including Heath, Romney, Fittler, and Tomkins.
Each volume begins with descriptive text about each item identifying it by number. Following is a list of plates with title, artist and number from the descriptive text. Plates identified by title, engraver, place, and time of first publication.
Binding rubbed and worn, especially at edges. Endpaper chipped at edges. Light foxing and tanning on plates does not obscure the plates themselves.
