Goethes Werke

A book from my five volume set of Goethes Werke, all of which have the selfsame gold leaf adornment, design, and leather binding. An 1882 Stuttgart edition, it is in very good condition—aside from the inevitable wear evident on the spines—replete with the first German artists' wonderful, albeit colorless or faded color, illustrations which easily number over 300 strewn throughout the texts. Remarkably, I was able to obtain this without economic shackles attached. Namely, I received it via a donation in the will of a scholar.
