Walter Benjamin, "L'Œuvre d'art à l'époque de sa reproduction mécanisée"

108. [Benjamin, Walter].

“L’Oeuvre d’art à l’époque de sa reproduction mécanisée” [First Edition of “The Work of Art in the Age of Mechanical Reproduction”, surely the most important work on cultural criticism ever written and here available in its first printing within Volume I of Jahrgang V, 1936 [Annual V, 1936] of the “Zeitschrift fuer Sozialforschung”]. All three Volumes of the very rare “Jahrgang V” are present with one Volume bearing the name of Walter Benjamin’s friend Alfred Sohn-Rethel on the cover]. This most spectacular provenance is not the only surprise but the 1936-set of “Jahrgang V” came to us as part of a nearly complete set of the Zeitschrift fuer Sozialforschung [24 Issues printed in 22 Issues with only three issues missing (Jahrgang I, Heft 1 und Heft 2 und Jahrgang IX, Heft 1)] and the Periodical does not only include all the Volumes with Benjamin’s Essays but one of the issues is actually an original “File Copy” of the “Institute for Research in Social Science” and one issue is stamped “New School Library – Aug 26 1940” and another from the “William Graham Sumner Club at the Sociology Department / Yale University”.

First Edition. Paris, Librairie Félix Alcan, 1936. Octavo. Softcover / Original Publisher’s wrappers. The Volume which includes the First Edition of “The Work of Art in the Age of Mechanical Reproduction” in stunning condition. Three Volumes with stronger signs of wear and all other Volumes in good, very good+ or even better condition. Fantastic provenance also of the Issue 3 of Jahrgang V in 1936 which bears Alfred Sohn-Rethel’s name. Sohn-Rethel’s possession of this issue is not only plausible but reflects all the developments known in critical writings of the Frankfurt School and is the exact time in which he tried, through his friendship with Adorno, to find a philosophical home within the Institute for Social Research. An endeavour which eventually failed through the intervention of Horkheimer but this would not have stopped him to follow the path of the Institute in Exile and its seminal Periodical. We can NOT determine if the other issues belonged to Sohn-Rethel as well. [More images on request].
