From the CJH: Steiner-Prag, partial to tales of the fantastic, illustrated the Gustav Meyrink novel, The Golem, published in a luxury edition in Leipzig by Kurt Wolff, 1916. In most of the illustrations the old Jewish quarter of Prague is the protagonist as much as the Golem. In this later drawing (above), however the bulky figure of the Golem looms on the page in isolation accompanied only by what appears to be a double shadow.
