Illustrations to Goethe's Faust designed by Paul Konewka. Published by Roberts Brothers in 1871. A burgundy, pebbled cloth cover with bright gilt lettering and illustration on the front and spine. Some wear to the edges of the covers and spine. A small loss to the bottom of the free-front page (25x5mms) and some slight foxing only scattered through the book. The foxing is more obvious on the title page. There is a gift inscription in a note, dated 1870, inserted in the front of the book. Books were often released the year before their printed publication date. the binding is tight. A very good copy.
