About This Item
Leipzig, G. Wigand, 1838. With 30 steel-engr. plates after O. Wagner. 291 pp. 8vo. Contemp. half cloth, orig. typographic wrapper laid down (somewhat soiled and spotted). Leipzig, G. Wigand, (1838). "Das malerische und romantische Deutschland", IV. First edition. Thuringia was the foremost topic of Bechstein. His "Wanderungen" were part of a series on this country in which the illustrations were the main concern. But unlike other authors' explanatory texts, Bechstein wrote more extensively, couching the information in a narration of a hiking tour undertaken by friends, thereby providing atmosphere, including a love story. The steel-engraved views after designs by Otto Wagner show Arnstadt, Meiningen, Suhl, Schleusingen, Blankenburg, Schwarzburg, Rudolstadt, Jena, Weimar, Erfurt, Gotha, Salzungen, etc. - Foxed throughout, plates mostly clean. - Goedeke XIII, 167, 27; Rümann 2725; Kosch I, 341; Cat. Wolfenbüttel, Die Kunst der Illustration (1986), 50. GERMANY ; GEOGRAPHIE, REISEN ; GEOGRAPHY: TRAVEL ;
