Two fist pressure

In the book series Zweifäusterdruck the publisher Erich Matthes in Leipzig and Hartenstein appeared 1918-1928 about 170 illustrated novels and stories. According to the publisher's advertisement, they should “distinguish themselves through particularly careful equipment in terms of book technology and artistic terms.” In addition to the general edition, numbered copies of the volumes were published in bibliophile style. Due to the bankruptcy of the publisher in May 1929, the editorial program could only be partially implemented. Individual volumes were reprinted in 1934 by the theater publisher Albert Langen / Georg Müller in Berlin, here marked with *.

For the book design and the illustration of the volumes, Matthes won over artists who, like himself, were close to the Wandervogel movement or who lived in the Leipzig area . Theodor Schultze-Jasmer designed the equipment for a significant part of the series . Among the illustrators are Robert Budzinski , Otto Weigel , Fritz Buchholz and A. Paul Weber , who also supervised partial editions, such as Budzinski the Theodor Storm volumes and Weber the Hans Sachs series.
