About this Item
Dichtungen und Balladen by Ernst Von Wildenbruch. Published by Freund & Jeckel, 1884. In German. Please note a book titled Lieder und Balladen(Songs and Ballads) by Ernst Von Balladen was first published in 1877. Could my book for sale be the same book with an altered title? Or is it a different work? I was not able to clarify this. Please research it for yourself. In many ways the book is in remarkable condition. While the pages are a little darkened from age the gilt on the front and spine is very bright, the end papers look very good, the binding is great, the gilt on all three page edges shines, so I can't help wonder if it was re-bound at some later date. I simply don't know what the original binding looked like. It may in fact be original. An interested buyer could research it. Clearly the book itself was published in 1884, it states so on the title page. Some recent reprints reference 1884 as the year published so this may be a first edition. I don't read German but I have taken photos of several relevant pages. As I said in many ways the book is in remarkable condition. HOWEVER, sadly this is marred by a dirtying of the front cover. It literally looks like dirt caked in and like someone not too successfully tried to remove it. Also, a previous owner, Gustav Hirsch, stamped his name on half-title and title page. See photos and zoom in. Seller Inventory # 000137
