Twelve etched plates in original wrappers, 240 x 330mm (9½ x 13"). Foxing.
Set of illustrations to Friedrich Schiller's poem 'Pegasus in Harness' ('Pegasus im Joche'), etched by Moritz Retzsch (1779-1857), German printmaker best known for his illustrations of Schiller, Goethe and other writers (Goethe like Retzsch's illustrations to 'Faust' more than any others). Retzsch's work was more successful in England than in his native country- it has been claimed that his distinctive outline etching style was more popular than that of comparable work by John Flaxman, and that he inspired writers and artists including Byron, Shelley and D.G. Rossetti. The success of Retzsch's work in England let to him producing the eight-volume series 'Retsch's Outlines to Shakespeare (1828-46).

Landscape after Claude Lorrain by the little-known etcher J. Tobin (1770s, fl.). As Joseph Strutt writes of him in his biographical dictionary of engravers: 'he was a native of England, and etched several small plates of landscapes from H. Grim. We have also some small tinted plates from him, from Both, Ostade, and other painters'. Probably from a volume of Tobin's etchings, and after a drawing by Claude in the collection of the philosopher and musical patron James Harris (1709-80).
