Heinrich Vogeler was instrumental in the development of Jugendstil, or art nouveau, in Germany. This international movement advocated for an integration of the arts and their application to the visual culture of the everyday—including design, household goods, and illustrated books. <em>In Spring</em> features landscapes that loosely evoke the times of day, beginning with an image of the artist encountering a lark in the morning and concluding with the night sky over his home. Vogeler collaborated with the vanguard journal <em>Die Insel </em>and controlled every aspect of the portfolio’s production, including its cover design, font, layout, paper, ink tone, and binding.
