About This Item

Derby: Published by Richardson and Son, [s.d., c. 1830] 23pp, [1]. Original publisher’s printed blue wrappers. A trifle spotted, slight chipping to spine. An uncommon survival, in original unsophisticated state, of an anonymous Derby-printed prose edition of the perennially popular German legend of Faust. An apparently contemporary edition in boards, also issued by Richardson (but likely not for six-pence), contained a colour frontispiece which this edition doesn’t feature. OCLC records copies at four locations (Cambridge, Louisiana, Oxford, and Yale); COPAC adds two further (BL and NLW). . 12mo.

Terms of Sale

Antiquates Ltd

Antiquates Ltd was established by Tom Lintern-Mole in 2007; we travel far and wide to buy, sell, and advise on rare books and manuscripts.

Concentrating on hand-press printing and early modern manuscripts, we pride ourselves on offering a varied selection of antiquarian works on a diverse range of subjects, leaning towards the interesting, the important, and the unusual.

We have a countryside bookshop in Wareham; we also regularly issue catalogues - do ask if you would like to be added to our mailing list - and frequently exhibit at regional and national book fairs in London, Bristol, Cambridge, Edinburgh, Oxford, and York.

We also offer a valuation service (for either insurance or probate purposes), as well as advice on library development.
