Description:
London Vizetelly and Co. 1887, 1887. First edition. 1887. Rebound in the late 19th century calf without the original paper covers - this edition was issued in paperbound format only. Full calf with gilt decoration around the edges of the front and back covers. Five raised bands on the spine with gilt decorated compartments. Dark brown leather label in second compartment with title in gilt (mistakenly written as "King Solomon's Wifes"). A fine copy. "This parody on 'King Solomon's Mines' was for many years attributed to Andrew Lang. In 1921, however, writing to the SKETCH in August concerning a caricature of Haggard by 'Maat' which had appeared in its issue for Aug. 3, Ernest Vizetelly gave the name of the author of 'King Solomon's Wives' as Sir Henry Chartres Biron who wrote it when he was a young barrister."

Handwritten in pencil in a small notebook bound in half black linen with paper covered boards. There are sixty-eight numbered leaves with Weckberth's diary entries on both sides. The first leaf (unnumbered) has the title and year with, on the verso, a list of dates and places beginning with "15.8.14 Dinant" and ending with "8.9.14. Bois Tronces. Gefangen...1.30 nachm", indicating his being taken prisoner at 1.30 in the afternoon. In total there are 138 pages of handwriting. As one would expect from a wartime diary the handwriting shows signs of haste, Weckberth clearly keen to record his experiences as speedily and freshly as possible. Helpfully, there is, in a separate small notebook, an English translation although this is an edited version as some quite long sections of the German diary do not…
