Johann Wolfgang von GOETHE
Reineke fuchs [Le roman de Renard]
J. B. Gotta|Stuttgart • und Tübingen 1846|28 x 34 cm|relié
First edition illustrated with 36 steel engravings outside the text by Wilhelm Von Kaulbach, including 17 engraved by Rudolfe Rahn, 17 by Adrian Scheich, one by Steifendand and one last unsigned. One engraved half-title. Text within a border. Gothic typeface. Head- and tailpieces. Not only do the engravings approach perfection, but Kaulbach's animal compositions are among the finest of their kind. The human personification of the animals is indeed highly developed and perfectly staged, one must see the incredible orgy on page 125, the most complete scene of debauchery where intoxication, gluttony and eroticism seize upon the most diverse animals.
