Seller: White Fox Rare Books, ABAA/ILAB, New York, NY, U.S.A.
Cloth. Condition: Very Good. 16.5 (illustrator). Folio sized, measuring 16.5 by 13.5 inches, or 42 by 35 cm. Poetry surrounded by pretty floral and natural decoration one finds in illuminated manuscript. Most outstanding is the plate with a garlanded bouquet of wildflowers and birds that frame Goethe verse. Other poets include Longfellow, Uhland, Franz Kugler, Freiligrath, Ruckert. The card stock has a brittleness evident by the hinge; otherwise, plates are clean. Original front cloth appears to have been carefully laid on later cloth boards.
