Text in German, Gothic script. Age wear on spine, head and tail of spine chipped. Small dealer sticker on back free endpaper. Binding with very light wear and lightly rubbed. The artist of the illustrations, Ephraim Moses Lilien was an influential and famous Jewish artist. The author of the poetry, Börries von Münchhausen (1874 - 1945) was a monastery educated German poet. While he was still a student, he composed a number of ballads and published his first collection of poetry in 1898. He harked back to the German Romantic poets' fascination with the Middle Ages and the world of German legend. Münchhausen thus contributed decisively to the 20th century revival of the ballad, the genre which he encouraged in other writers, notably Lulu von Strauß und Torney and Agnes Miegel, whose first ballads he edited.
