At the turn of the 20th century, two of the greatest Austrian artists of the Art Nouveau movement—Heinrich Lefler and Joseph Urban—brought to life a fantastical fairy tale with illustrations unlike anything else created in their time. Yet it remains largely unknown today.

This beautifully illustrated edition was originally published in 1899 in German
"The Chronicle of the Three Sisters" was a visual masterpiece: golden accents, exquisite color work and whimsical fantasy wrapped in elegant Art Nouveau design.
The book was an immense success, and in 1900, Urban and Lefler won the grand prize at the Paris Exposition Universelle for their breathtaking illustrations.
Nowadays, the book is very hard to find, surviving only in rare auctions or deep in library archives
That’s why a small independent publishing house is now on a mission to bring this magical book back to life
For the first time in English—and you can help this project become a reality.
After four years of careful restoration, every illustration has been revived in vivid color, with attention to detail, recreating their vibrant effects to stay true to the beauty of the original lithographs.
In order to fund its publication, the campaign just launched on Kickstarter
Backers can get the book, along with prints, postcards and hand-printed silkscreen illustrations.
This new edition of "The Chronicle of the Three Sisters" isn’t just a reprint—it’s a revival of a lost Art Nouveau treasure
And for anyone who loves illustration, fairy tales, or book history, it’s a must-have
