Hardcover. Condition: Near fine. First Edition. One of 8 copies in French and printed on true vellum. This is copy H -- not to be confused with the japon paper of 50. Bound in full red morroco (not signed, with slipcase), endpapers are also vellum. Fourteen title-letters in hand-applied thick-gold (only done for the vellum copies). Page 11-12 has a crease on it (does not impact any gilt lettering, see photo). The vellum pages are of very slightly different thicknesses and color. Every page of the book is photographed for review. No tears or chips of course. Actual vellum Cranach Press books are nearly impossible to locate. This is the second that I have handled in 40 years. Book and pages near fine, slipcase with ordinary shelf wear, no splits. A gorgeous book of legendary rarity. The most recent Cranach vellum books to sell at auction were the Rilke, without illustrations, for 42,000e, and the larger Virgil for 80,000e.
