This book is printed from M. O. Wolf's 1881 edition, featuring 50 paintings and etchings by A. Lizen-Mayer and ornamental embellishments by R. Seitz, specially colored for this edition. Russian translation by A. N. Strugovshchikov (1808–1878). Artistic endpapers with intricate floral designs. Milled binding covers. The edition is beautifully illustrated with numerous engravings on individual sheets and drawings within the text. Original headpieces and vignettes, endpapers, and initials enhance the richness of this collector's gift edition, dedicated to the 270th anniversary of the great 18th-century German writer and thinker, Johann Wolfgang von Goethe.

This magnificent edition of the German poet's most popular work makes a wonderful gift and a treasured addition to any book lover's library. Munich artist Liesen-Mayer surpassed other illustrators of "Faust." Alongside his paintings, remarkable in composition and execution, the book is adorned with engravings by another German master, Seitz, in the style of old German editions.

Wolf's edition of "Faust" can rightfully be considered one of the finest illustrated editions of the 19th century.
