A facsimile edition of unknown print run also exists.

German Max Thalmann, the great expressionist relegated and forgotten, now being reclaimed, the one who abandoned his work as an artist to become a graphic designer and bookbinder... Trained in Weimar by Van De Velde, his artistic output is limited to three major works that position him in the history of expressionism as one of the greats: The Passion, The Cathedral, and America.

"Passion" was published shortly after he briefly taught at the Bauhaus. All his works are striking for the woodcut clarity of a stylized and sequentially geometric representation. It is a gem.

Extraordinary state of conservation.
