Fischer Bücherei

The Fischer Bücherei was S. Fischer's paperback series from 1952 to about 1970: over a thousand numbered volumes, a different picture on every cover. The first covers ran a picture over the whole front with the series name at the foot; from about 1962 a coloured band with the three fish sits at the top above a white title field. This wall shows the volumes whose series cover Open Library holds, in the order of their numbers, and names the designer where it is known for that printing.

179 books, each with the cover Open Library holds for its printing in the series.

The paintings are named as the books credit them on the back cover, for the printing shown, read from scans at the Internet Archive or from collectors quoting their own copies. Where a tile names nothing, no such credit was found — the picture is not therefore anonymous.
