Printed in colophon in the full vellum volume: "Printed by the Ernst Ludwig Press in Darmstadt. The last volume of the Faust Edition, undertaken by Kleukens Presse in Frankfurt am Main. The names Moritz Baron von Bethmann and Hans von Passavant are to be added in acclaim in the same honorific way as to the two previously printed parts. The original form of the tragedy and the supplement were issued in June 1924. The paper was donated by Moritz von Bethmann and Hans Passavant. Typeface from Antiqua by Christian Heinrich Kleukens. A typeface specially edited by the printer for the press, and printed in red and black countering the rapidly spreading ostentation of luxury printing, and the raw typography of garish illustration effects."

Complete copies of all three parts, with superb original bindings by Ernst Rehbein. Scarce.

Limited edition, number 11 of 15 copies printed on japon with the plates in three states (printed in black on japon, bistre on chine, and blue). 15 copies were also printed on papier de chine, 40 on Watham paper, and 350 in a standard trade issue. Nerval's translation of Goethe's epic play was first published in 1828, Goethe commenting that "this French translation all seems again fresh, new, and spirited" (Oxenford, 3 January 1860). The dramatic illustrations accompanying this edition of the translation are by Pierre Gaston Jourdain, an illustrator who taught at the Lycée de Versailles, and the brother of the architect and art critic Frantz Jourdain. Fritz provided the preface to this edition, in which he discusses his brother's skill, and love of Goethe, describing him as "a madly enthusiastic artist of Goethe genius" (p. 11). John Oxenford, Conversations of Goethe with Eckermann (1906). Quarto (280 x 216 mm). Text in French. Vignette title page printed in red and black in two states.

Translated into English prose, with remarks on former translations, and notes, by The Translator of Savigny's "Of the Vocation." [Abraham Hayward]. London: MDCCCXXXIII [1833]. Bound in early (contemporary?) purple watered silk stamped in gilt on the front cover and spine. First Edition in the English language of Goethe's final version of the legend of Faust -- this being a copy of the private issue printed for the translator (considered to have preceded the trade issue). The legend of Faust, and his pact with Mephistopheles whereby he pledged his soul for the instant gratification of unbound earthly knowledge, is known as far back as a German chap-book in 1587. Christopher Marlowe wrote his dramatic version around 1604, and a 1725 version of the chap-book is known to have been read by young Goethe (1749-1832). In Goethe's reworking of the story (as a hybrid between a play and an epic poem), which in all took him about sixty years to write, Faust becomes a dissatisfied intellectual who yearns for "more than earthly meat and drink" in his life; nonetheless, his first use of his new power is to seduce a teenage girl. Goethe completed a preliminary version of the legend (later referred to as Part One) in 1806; it was published (in German) in 1808. Goethe's much-revised edition was published twenty years later, in 1828-1829: it is noteworthy that the major sub-plot involving the teen Gretchen (to be "Margaret" in English versions), was entirely an invention of Goethe -- not in the original legend. In 1831 he finished writing Part Two -- which was published posthumously in 1832: quoting from the Faust website, "In contrast to Faust Part One, the focus here is no longer on the soul of Faust, which has been sold to the devil, but rather on social phenomena such as psychology, history and politics." As for English translations, there was an 1821 English edition of Goethe's preliminary (1808) Part One -- which translation was in 2007 attributed to Samuel Taylor Coleridge, though this has since been rebutted. Following Goethe's final German version of the legend in 1828-1829 and his death in 1832, there were two English editions in 1833, both translated by Abraham Hayward: the privately-printed-for-the-translator issue (as here -- with no mention of a publisher on the title page), plus a trade edition (also arranged by Hayward) published a month (?) later by Moxon of London. Compared to the 1821 translation of Goethe's draft, Hayward's translation is not only of Goethe's final text, but it is also acknowledged to be a truer translation. This private edition consists of an 87-page "Translator's Preface," 203 pages of text, and 74 pages of Notes / Appendix / Corrigenda. (The final page of text includes the doom of Margaret followed by Mephistopheles's final line to Faust, "Hither to me!"). This copy is bound in very early (contemporary?) purple watered silk, stamped in gilt on the front cover and spine; we have never seen a copy in any earlier binding (wrappers?). As with many of the privately-printed copies, Hayward's calligraphic signature appears on the title page; also, his handwritten corrections appear on pages lviii and 192 (in some copies there are additional corrections on pages 16, 209 and 246). Condition is remarkable for a 190-year-old volume in what likely is its original cloth binding: some wear along the rear joint (but the volume is tight and the original endpapers are intact), some sun-fading to tan, light wax residue on the front paste-down. In all, a quite collectible copy; both this privately-printed issue and the trade issue are very scarce. Provenance: Hayward's aim with the private issue was to be able to give copies to friends and associates: accordingly, this copy is inscribed by him on the front free endpaper, "J. Shapland Stock Esq. | from the Translator | A.H." (the barrister John Shapland Stock authored numerous books, including POEMS, Chiefly Translated from the German (London 1862).) Stock in turn inscribed, on the same leaf, "indorsed to James Colquhoun | J.S.S." (likely the 4th Baronet of Luss, MP for and Lord Lieutenant of Dunbartonshire). At the top of the title page is a private library number, which is said to be that of Æmilius Irving (1823-1913), a prominent Ontario lawyer and member of the Canadian Parliament.

Vellum Binding. Zustand: Very Good+ binding. Small quarto. 373, [1], [3 (blank)] pp. Limited edition, one of 250 copies on paper. As issued, in limp vellum by Doves Bindery, stamp-signed on the rear turn-in; housed in modern slipcase. Quite a nice copy with minor mellowing to the vellum; contents have very occasional and light toning, but generally, quite clean. Undoubtedly, Cobden-Sanderson and Walker's Doves Press stands as one of the titans of the private press movement reenergized by William Morris and his Kelmscott Press. Unlike Morris and Hornby's Ashendene Press, the Doves Press embraced restraint at least in designCobden Sanderson was anything but restrained in temperament. Colin Franklin writes, "It is kind of a paradox that the Doves Press, simplest and purest of them all in style, was the creation of more passion and complexity of thought than the rest of them put together" (p. 105). Unfortunately, the genius and artistic sensibility that brought out some of the greatest monuments of 20th century printing was ill fated and the partnership between T. J. Cobden-Sanderson and Emery Walker was ended in 1909. Cobden Sanderson would go on to print books, including this title, for a few more years. This is a beautiful copy of increasingly uncommon title. Printed in red and black with initials and header. Text in German. Tidcombe DP20; Franklin, Colin. The Private Presses.

Intriguing book design and craftsmanship. This limited edition includes a preface by Roger Ingpen, Goethe's dedication, prologues for the theatre and in heaven, an appendix including Percy Bysshe Shelley's translation of works by Goethe, and a special notes section. Near good signed example with near very good leaves and mesmerizing color plates and illustrations remaining attractive. A fine art edition of Goethe's great classic, the remarkable illustrations of which are by the clever Hungarian artist whose work attracted considerable attention both in England and on the continent. Mr. Pogany knows his Faust thoroughly, and realising the immense scope Goethe's drama offers to the imagination, he has painted a series of pictures of rare beauty and originality. The Faustian legend has captured the imagination for centuries. In Goethe's Faust, the reader discovers the most famous expression of this old German tale. The classic story of a man who makes the deal with the devil and pays with his soul. The influence of this theme on literature cannot be understated. The second part of Goethe's masterpiece opens with Faust struggling to recover from the death of his beloved Gretchen. The quick-witted demon Mephistopheles soon persuades him to look beyond his sorrow and enter the world of politics and power, but the great scholar is still eager for new sensations, and asks Mephistopheles to reveal Helen of Troy to him in a vision. Overwhelmed by her beauty, Faust demands she be brought back from the underworld - but even this fails to bring him contentment, and his appetite for knowledge remains unsated. Completed a few months before Goethe's death, this rich and allusive work weaves together a wealth of diverse philosophical ideas and influences, reworking the medieval myth of Dr. Faustus and speculating upon the search for truth in the Age of Enlightenment. Printed in Great Britain by A. C. Fowler, 6, Tenters Street, Moorfields, London, E. C. 210 pages. Insured post. Size: 4to - over 9¾" - 12" tall. Signed by Artist. Book.

Stamp "Austria" to title; inscription in pen "Gift: Peter Anderson, Minneapolis, MN, Oct.1972" to foreword; very good and clean copy. Dmytro Zahul (1890-1944) - a Ukrainian poet-symbolist, literary critic, critic, publicist, translator, teacher, public figure. Dmytro translated into Ukrainian the second song "Aeneid" by Vergil, several Horace satires, and "Song of the bell" by Friedrich Schiller. In 1918, Dmytro Zagul joined the association of symbolic writers, Muzaget, that promoted "pure art." The writer edits the almanac "Western Ukraine", writes critical articles, translates: Goethe, Schiller, Heine, Becher, Gesenklever, Green, Gebbele and others. In 1933, as a member of the Western Ukraine literary organization, Zahula was accused of nationalism and sentenced to 10 years in concentration camps. He was appointed editor of the multi-circulation newspaper Stroitel Bama. After the news of a possible life imprisonment, Dmytro died of heart paralysis in the summer of 1944 at Kolyma. Aleksander Licen-Mayer was born in 1839 in Raabe, Hungary, and received his education at the Vienna and Munich Academies. In the 1970s, Alexander proved himself to be a fine portrait painter, and gained fame in Germany by illustrating classical works of literature (Shakespeare, Schiller and others). His illustrations for Goethe's Faust became the first absolutely successful and filigree work on the creation of visual images. Subtle, detailed, perfectly conveying the dynamics and intensity of the scenes, they perfectly accomplish the work, the pinnacle of the world literature. OCLC shows only one copy in Yale University Library, as of April 2020.

Vorder- und Rückendeckel der Originalbroschüre mit eingebunden. Am hinteren Buchdeckel innen unten vom Buchbinder signiert" W. von Küster". - Beiliegend ein persönliches Schreiben des Buchbinders W. von Küster vom 24. November 1933 in französischer Sprache.- "Warum handgebunden? - Die wesentlichsten Vorzüge des guten Handbandes sind: Die einzelnen Druckbögen werden mit der Hand nach dem Schriftspiegel gefalzt. Die Bogenränder werden dadurch zwar ungleich, aber das Satzbild steht gerade. Um infolge der ungleichen Ränder ein späteres zu starkes Beschneiden mit der Maschine zu vermeiden, werden die Bogen einzeln, vorne und unten, mit der Pappschere auf ein Mittelmaß rauh beschnitten. Dadurch wird der Druckrand weitestgehend geschont. Als erste und letzte Lage wird dem Buche zum Schutze eine leere Papierlage hinzugefügt, welche mit einem feinen Leinen- oder echten Japanpapierfalz versehen ist. Geheftet wird der Handband nach sorgfältiger Auswahl des Heftzwirnes auf echten erhabenen oder aufgedrehten flachen Bünden und auf Pergamentriemchen (welche beim Pergamentbande durch den Rücken gezogen werden). Bei Dünndruckpapier werden die Lagen zum Heften leicht vorgeritzt. Oben wird das Buch beschnitten und erhält nicht nur der Schönheit willen Goldschnitt, sondern diese feine Metallschicht schützt vielmehr die dem Lichte und Staub am meisten ausgesetzte Schnittfläche vor deren schädlichen Einflüssen. Die Deckel werden in einem tiefen Falz angesetzt, mit den Bünden nach außen. Ein Herausreißen aus der Decke ist somit nur unter Zuhilfenahme von Werkzeug möglich. Zum Kapital wird kein schlappes maschinengewebtes Bändchen verwendet, sondern das Kapital wird von Hand mit dem Buchblock umstochen, gibt dadurch dem Rücken einen festen Abschluß und bietet zugleich dem späteren Ledereinschlag ("Häubchen") die Unterlage. Als Einbandmaterial kommen sumachgares, lichtechtes Saffian, Kalbleder, vereinzelt auch Rindsleder, ferner naturelles und weißes Schweinsleder sowie Kalbspergament zur Verwendung. Ein mit der Hand hergestelltes, dazupassendes Überzugpapier sowie Handvergoldung oder Blinddruck am Rücken ergänzen das Werk nach außen.

This edition includes a preface by Roger Ingpen, Goethe's dedication, prologues for the theatre and in heaven, an appendix including Percy Blythe Shelley's translation of works by Goethe, and a special notes section. Very attractive, complete example. The Faustian legend has captured the imagination for centuries. In Goethe's Faust, the reader discovers the most famous expression of this old German tale. The classic story of a man who makes the deal with the devil and pays with his soul. The influence of this theme on literature cannot be understated. The second part of Goethe's masterpiece opens with Faust struggling to recover from the death of his beloved Gretchen. The quick-witted demon Mephistopheles soon persuades him to look beyond his sorrow and enter the world of politics and power, but the great scholar is still eager for new sensations, and asks Mephistopheles to reveal Helen of Troy to him in a vision. Overwhelmed by her beauty, Faust demands she be brought back from the underworld - but even this fails to bring him contentment, and his appetite for knowledge remains unsated. Completed a few months before Goethe's death, this rich and allusive work weaves together a wealth of diverse philosophical ideas and influences, reworking the medieval myth of Dr. Faustus and speculating upon the search for truth in the Age of Enlightenment. 210 pages. Insured post. Size: 4to - over 9¾" - 12" tall. Book.
