Johann Wolfgang Goethe
This magnificent five-volume set is in the original German. It is published in Stuttgart by Deutsche Verlags Anhalt.
The brown buckram boards are beautifully decorated in attractive muted tones of brown, blue, green and gold with title in gilt lettering to spine & front board. Two cherubs sit on either side of a harp on the front board surrounded by decorative panelling.
There are numerous delicate black&white illustrations throughout the books.
This would be a stunning gift for the German literature scholar in your midst.
