1918 Genovefa und Der arme Heinrich Antique German Literature Book 88 Of 100

Genovefa und Der arme Heinrich
Illustrations by Walter Klemm
Published by Bruno Cassirer: Berlin 1918
Limited Edition #88 Of 100 Copies In Original Bindings

" A finely produced limited edition of Genovefa und Der arme Heinrich, drawn from the German folk tradition and published by Bruno Cassirer, Berlin in 1918. This elegant volume forms part of Cassirer's distinguished Märchenbuch series, presenting two enduring tales of faith, suffering, and redemption. The text is accompanied by expressive illustrations by Walter Klemm, whose delicate line work and restrained colouring complement the narrative's medieval tone and moral depth. Cassirer editions from this period are celebrated for their harmony of literary content and refined book design.

This example is one of only 100 copies printed on fine paper and issued in full leather (Ganzleder), with the binding designed by E. R. Weiß. The boards are tastefully decorated with gilt floral tools and simple panelled lines, with the title Genovefa stamped to the front, reflecting the understated elegance characteristic of German fine bindings of the era. The limitation page confirms this copy as number 88, enhancing its desirability among collectors of private press and limited edition works.

A scarce and highly collectible limited edition, ideal for collectors of illustrated German literature, fine bindings, and early 20th-century presswork."
