About This Item
Hamburg: Hoffmann und Campe, 1827. First Edition, First Issue. Half Red Morocco. Marbled Boards. Cloth clamshell box. Near Fine. Heine's second published book, his first collection of verse, which was soon censored, making the first issue a relative rarity. In later issues some of the poems were altered to suit the censors. 12mo. 17 by 10.5 cm. 372, [1] pp. Original wraps bound in. With half title and the four dedication pages -- two to Friedrich Merkel, one to Salomon Heine, and one to Friederike Varnhagen von Ense. Also with the advertisement page at the end. There is no preface. This copy has the bookplate of Ludwig Rosenberger mounted onto the FEP. Rosenberger (1904-1987) built one of the most significant collections of Judaica which he donated to the University of Chicago. Overall, a beautiful copy. With a clamshell box that has a rounded spine with solidity and thickness. Light scattered foxing, but most leaves are clean. (Foxing is mostly on the early and the final few leaves, with it most conspicuous on the title page.) Also a few light fox marks on the fore-edge. Moderate wear to the box.
