GOETHE, Johann Wolfgang von. (1749-1832). Goethe’s Werke. Stuttgart and Tübingen: J. G. Cotta, 1815-1819.

Second Cotta edition, an excellent endeavor which remained the most authoritative complete edition until the modern critical edition. The music plate complements the 'Fragmente über Italien', while the copperplate in the same volume shows a genealogy to accompany 'Unterhaltungen deutscher Auswanderter'. Hagen 20b.

20 volumes, octavo (186 x 108mm). With folding copperplate and engraved musical plate to vol. 13 (outer edge of title in vol. 16 frayed, very occasional very light spotting). Contemporary half calf, flat spines decorated in gilt with contrasting lettering-pieces, marbled boards (extremities lightly rubbed, a few minor stains).
