About This Item
Stuttgart: Druck und Verlag von J.F. Steinkopf, 1896. Hardcover. 12mo. Original brown cloth with elaborate gilt and black lettering, decorations and pictorial stamping, dust jacket. 348pp. All edges gilt. Watered silk endpapers, sewn-in white silk page marker. Near fine/good. Volume itself as near to pristine as it gets; jacket age toned, with chips at corners and top edge of front panel -- but complete and fairly attractive nonetheless. A stunningly beautiful copy of this German-language edition -- much of whose exceptionally tight 'n' bright condition is due to the presence of the scarce printed dust jacket. Second of this edition.
