Descripción

It is a version of the book Rheinischer Sagen-Kreis which Jugel brought out the same year, prefixed with English summaries of the plates. Adelheid von Stolterfoth (1800 1875) was best known for her Rhenish poems; Goedeke called her the true poet of the Rhine . Morgan 9164; Rümann 1822. Oblong 4to (218 × 262 mm), pp. [4], 19, [3], 65, [1]; lithographed frontispiece (spotted) and 20 tinted plates; title printed in red and black; staining to a few pages, with light foxing elsewhere, bookblock broken at p. 24, but sound; (publisher s?) patterned cloth binding, with printed label to upper cover, printed in red, black, and blue; a few marks; with a long presentation inscription, in German, dated 1937, to the front free endpaper.
