[Eleven Illustrations to Schiller's 'Pegasus im Joche' with frontispiece] Umgriffe zu Schiller's Pegasus im Joche uebst Andentungen von Moritz Retzsch.
Stuttgart und Augsburg, Verlag der J.B. Cotta'schen Buchhandlung [...]
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).
