Collection Overview

Biography / History
Bibliographer and author, Hellmut Lehmann-Haupt was born in Berlin, Germany in 1903. He attended the Universities of Berlin, Vienna, and Frankfort, publishing a doctoral dissertation on book illustration. He moved to the United States and became the curator of rare books at Columbia University and later assistant professor of book arts in the School of Library Service. In 1950, Lehmann-Haupt became the chief bibliography expert of H.P. Kraus, a rare book dealer located in New York City. Hellmut Lehmann-Haupt died on March 11, 1992.
His bibliography contains over 200 titles of books and articles. His most famous works include: An Introduction to the Woodcut of the Seventeenth Century, Fifty Books About Bookmaking, Seventy Books About Bookmaking, The Gottingen Model Book and The Reconstruction of the German Book Trade.
Scope and Content
The Hellmut Lehmann-Haupt papers (dated 1909-1978; 8.8 cubic feet; 22 boxes) consist of manuscripts, books, pamphlets, photographs, negatives, books, and research material, which document his career as a bibliographer, author, and teacher. The collection contains manuscripts, drafts, notes, correspondence, and photographs relating to many of Lehmann-Haupt's works, including An Introduction to the Woodcut of the Seventeenth Century, Fifty Books About Bookmaking, The Gottingen Model Book and The Reconstruction of the German Book Trade. The collection also contains pamphlets, many of which are written in German and involve the politics of post World War II Germany, woodcutting, book-binding, and illustration.
Illustration blocks, which were used within his publications, are also included. The blocks were inked and then used to make the impression of the image on the page. Approximately 28 of these illustration blocks reside within the collection.
A large part of the collection are photographs and negatives of woodcut illustrations that were examined for his book, An Introduction to the Woodcut of the seventeenth Century.

Joseph W. Rodgers, 1920-1950, undated

Scope and Contents

The Joseph William Rodgers series contains material relating to The industrialization of American bookbinding; a study of the replacement of hand processes by machinery, written in 1937. It is unclear whether or not this dissertation is for a master's degree or for doctoral work. In 1938 the dissertation was then reworked into a book.

The series also contains correspondence documenting Rodgers' desire to have his work reviewed by Dr. Lehmann-Haupt. Further correspondence discusses reviews of Rodgers' work and other articles written by Rodgers.

Introduction to the Woodcut of the 17th Century, 1929-1977

Scope and Contents

The Introduction to the Woodcut of the 17th Century series contains several complete drafts and parts of draft of the work. An Introduction to the Woodcut of the Seventeenth Century is an introductory work into the art of woodcutting and illustration. Originally intended to be a comprehensive study, that idea was abandoned by the author, as he found it to be too extensive to be one project. Ssome of the drafts have different titles as they were tentative at the time. Also included within this part of the collection are reference notes, call slips to some of the reference works used and also funding and permissions required to legally publish the book. In addition, this part of the collection contains a variety of photographs of original woodcuts, many of which were used in the book.

Scope and Contents

This part of the collection include notes, photographs, negatives and reference materials relating to the illustrations of the work. In order to write this work, Lehmann-Haupt contacted 24 repositories, located in the United States and around the world, that owned many of the rare books containing the woodcut images that he sought to study and include in his book. Some of these respositories included The New York Public Library, Library of Congress, The British Library, The Royal Library and The Staedel Museum Print Room. This part of the collection contains very detailed notes and correspondence regarding the work as well. These organizations took photographs of them, often alongside a ruler to show the size of the original and sent them at the request of Hellmut Lehmann-Haupt. Records within the collection indication that Lehmann-Haupt used a large amount of grant money received in order to obtain these images for use in his book.

In some cases only artist is indicated and in others the title of the illustration was provided.
