We have ambitious plans for this year. Our new bibliography on pop-up books and their relatives of German provenance is to go to print. It will then replace our ‘Lebende Bilder (Living Pictures)’ bibliography from 2010. Very much has happened since then. This new book, together with our ‘Meggendorfer’, will provide a comprehensive overview of this fascinating genre. It contains around 5,000 works, starting with the late Middle Ages, with extensive bibliographical details and annotations. We will report on the beginnings and developments up to the present day in an accompanying monograph, which will be the first comprehensive examination of this type of book in Germany, which has so far only been dealt with in individual aspects. Both works are also our homage to Lothar Meggendorfer and his work, the 100th anniversary of whose death will be celebrated on 7 July this year. In advance, we will gradually post selected segments on our blog, such as the works of the Czech school with works by Vojtech Kubasta, Jiri Pavlin and Gustav Seda or the editions of the Malysch publishing house, which was not so well known in West Germany but all the better known in the former GDR (East Germany).
