German litterature, 1870-1930 in German 59 books
PUL342
Meyer’s classical editions, is an edition of German-language works published from 1870 to 1930. Only authors considered as «classical» at the end of the 19th century are included. Goethe of course, but also Shiller or Herder... The typography is the Fraktur (Gothic writing), and of course the text is in German.
This edition probably dates from after 1918, because restrictions due to the war led to printing without leather binding. But the back is very rich with red cartridge and gilding on black background. The complete collection has 150 volumes. There are only 59 volumes here, but this still represents 181cm of German culture!
