Not enough Nitsche

I found a copy of Nitsche-designed A History of Ships and Seafaring to add to my snails-pace New Illustrated Library of Science and Invention collection. There's a few images on Flickr. Isn't it about time someone wrote a book about Nitsche? Heller could do it, he wrote this. And then, there's also this. Sadly, for reasons they explain here, BustBright have discontinued their absolutely amazing Nitsche Flickr archive. Which is tragic but understandable. It does, however, add further weight to the need for some kind of permanent representation of this astonishing designer's works.

Thank you for introducing me to the work of Erik Nische. I'm ashamed to say I'd not heard of him until your post.
