4 ton. Approx. 2,200 pages. Original parchment bindings with spine and cover titles, gold-embossed publisher's mark on the front cover, gilt edges.
First edition and one of 80 numbered copies of the special edition, bound on heavy Japan paper and in parchment. Stefan George's books were unusually designed and initially available only in intellectual circles. He enjoyed a deep friendship with the poet Hugo von Hofmannsthal. An exceptionally fine copy. The pristine white parchment binding is completely untouched. Hardly found in this condition today. - Landmann 677. - Wilpert/Gühring 2/53.
