What Our Customers Say...
Description
Colour Plates, First Edition, Illustrated, Leather Binding, Scarce
First edition with calf binding of Myrtis Et Korina, by William Ritter with illustrations by A. Calbet.
The story is titled after Ancient Greek poets, Myrtis of Anthendon and Corinna (or Korinna). However, the story appears to be set in a mythical setting, beginning with a depiction of a centaur.
William Ritter was a Swiss novelist, critic and painter. He was known by his countless works and has been called a graphomaniac, someone who cannot stop writing.
This first edition contains colour illustrations throughout the text and a ribbon bookmark.
Gold engravings to the front board and spine.
Condition
