DER RABBI VON BACHERACH.
by Heine, Heinrich

Number 75 of 320 copies. Each of the five woodcut block prints have been signed by the artist, Joseph Butko. Lovely printing with crisp blacks and whites. Bound by Euphorion Einband in Leipzig. Not found in Copac (for 1921) or OCLC. Scarcer version of Heine's unfinished work that was supposedly burned in his mother's home. The leather has cracked on the front and back covers with loss to gilding in several sections, edges are bumped and worn, spine is worn and rubbed - though the stamped words are legible and in good condition. Very light foxing on a few of the interior pages.
