EHRFURCHT VOR DEM LEBEN = REVERENCE FOR LIFE = MEDITATIONS ON LIFE. No place, no publisher, [circa 1975–1985]. Large oblong quarto, full blue cloth binding by the publisher with an illustrated dust jacket, including a separate booklet of captions in German, English, and French. A beautiful international photographic work dedicated to the theme of respect for life, inspired by the humanist philosophy of the physician, philosopher, and Nobel Peace Prize laureate Albert Schweitzer. Bringing together photographs by artists from around the world, it offers a visual meditation on nature, wildlife, childhood, and humanity’s place within the living world. The illustrations, printed entirely in high-quality photogravure, alternate between landscapes, wildlife scenes, and symbolic images, accompanied by a separate booklet containing captions and photographer credits in three languages (German, English, and French). The volume is presented in its elegant blue cloth binding under a spectacular, brightly colored graphic dust jacket, characteristic of the editorial design of the 1970s and 1980s. Condition: Complete with its booklet of captions. Dust jacket is heavily damaged with significant tears, missing sections, and old repairs with adhesive tape; a few pages at the beginning of the volume remain partially stuck together; interior binding is in very good condition.
