Norbert Lieb was a German art historian. After graduating from the University of Munich, he trained at the Bavarian National Museum and the Bavarian State Painting Collections before he became the head of the Augsburg Municipal Art Collections in 1932. His focus was on Bavarian and Schwaben Baroque architecture. Lieb joined the NSDAP shortly after, and resigned his position at the art collections to avoid political pressure until 1948. The last section of the volume includes photographs of various paintings and instances of architecture to better illustrate the points he makes throughout the work.  Any issues with hinges or binding due to age or wear could provide an excellent opportunity for restoration or rebinding, if desired.
