Piper \u0026amp; Co., München between 1916 and 1920. This set comprises Ich und Du, Wir fanden einen Pfad, Einkehr, and Epigramme und Sprüche, each bound in original coloured boards with gilt titling, presenting beautifully as a group. The volumes reflect Morgenstern's distinctive lyrical and philosophical voice, blending humour, mysticism, and quiet introspection in a manner that secured his lasting place in German literature. The publisher's elegant typographic style and restrained decorative elements lend the set a refined period aesthetic.\n    \u003cdiv\u003e\n     \u003cbr\u003e\n    \u003c\/div\u003e\n    \u003cdiv\u003e\n     Each volume is an early edition or reprint from the immediate posthumous period of Morgenstern's work, issued in München by the respected Piper firm. Titles and editions include: Ich und Du (Zweite Auflage, 1916), Wir fanden einen Pfad: Neue Gedichte (Siebente Auflage, 1917), Einkehr (Vierte Auflage, 1918), and Epigramme und Sprüche (Dritte Auflage, 1920). These compact volumes were intended for a thoughtful readership and remain highly collectible today, particularly when retained as a set. Their understated bindings and consistent design make them especially attractive for display or scholarly collections of German poetry.\n    \u003c\/div\u003e\n    \u003cdiv\u003e\n     \u003cbr\u003e\n    \u003c\/div\u003e\n    One volume (Ich und Du) contains a loosely inserted vintage calendar page dated 1936. A scarce and appealing grouped offering of Morgenstern's poetic works, increasingly difficult to source together in matching early editions.\"\n   \u003c\/font\u003e\n  \u003c\/div\u003e\n  \u003cdiv style=\"\"\u003e\n   \u003cbr\u003e\n  \u003c\/div\u003e\n  \u003cdiv style=\"\"\u003e\n   \u003cfont size=\"4\"\u003e\n    Covers show moderate wear, rubbing, and edge loss; spines are worn with some fraying and softening.
