Description from the seller

ΑΙΣΧΥΛΟΥ ΠΡΟΜΗΘΕΥΣ ΔΕΣΜΩΤΗΣ (AESCHYLUS' PROMETHEUS BOUND) – Aeschylus / Albert Rehm (editor) / Ludwig von Hofmann (illustrations)

München [Munich]: Bremer Presse, 1926. Unpaginated [74 pages]. 27.5cm x 18.5cm. Quarter leather binding with printed boards, blind stamped spine, and burnt-orange top edge. Comes with a matching brown cardboard slipcase. Limited and numbered edition of 250 copies issued, this being No. 125, printed on Zanders woven paper. This Greek myth is beautifully illustrated with 18 black- and white woodcuts by Ludwig von Hofmann. The original binding from 1926 was customized in 1982, as is etched in on the back cover (see photos). The 20th print of the Bremer Presse, and the only illustrated one.
Very little rubbing, bumping, and wear to the slipcase, boards, and spine. Pencil markings in the front flyleaves, and the back pastedown endpaper. The text and illustrations are clear, the paper is crisp, and the binding is solid. Overall, a very handsome copy in near fine condition.
