c1880 Goethes Faust Stuttgart Cotta Edition Illustrated Antique German Book

Goethes Faust. Eine Tragödie.
By Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Illustrated by Engelbert Seibertz (woodcuts)
Published by J. G. Cotta'sche Buchhandlung: Stuttgart c1880 (undated)

"A beautifully produced late-19th-century German edition of Goethes Faust, published by the distinguished Stuttgart house J. G. Cotta'sche Buchhandlung. Elegantly bound in decorative gilt-stamped cloth featuring elaborate ornamental panels and black border tooling, this edition is notable for its impressive series of woodcut illustrations designed by Engelbert Seibertz, each capturing key dramatic moments with rich historicist detail. The gothic frontispiece, ornamental title, and full-page plates create a highly atmospheric presentation of Goethe's greatest dramatic work.

The volume is printed entirely in German and displays the classic late-Victorian printing style typical of Cotta editions from the 1880-1890 period. The interior opens with an engraved frontispiece dated "1864", reflecting the original artwork design rather than the publication date. The book also contains an attractive "Ex Libris" bookplate and clean endpapers, with light foxing to some pages as shown. A handsome and collectible example of Faust, ideal for display or for collectors of German literature, illustrated editions, and fine decorative Victorian-era bindings. "

Light wear and fading to covers and spine as shown. Bookplate present as shown. Some light foxing present otherwise pages very clean and well presented. A stunning copy in very good condition overall. Please study photos to further understand condition.
