Antique Book 1886 – Joost van den Vondel – Baumgartner – With Signed Pencil Drawings – Amsterdam

€95,00

An original 19th-century edition from 1886 of Joost van den Vondel – Zijn leven en zijne werken (Joost van den Vondel – His Life and Works), written by Alexander Baumgartner and published in Amsterdam by C.L. van Langenhuysen.

The book is bound in a green linen publisher's binding with gilt lettering and measures 22 cm in height.

Peculiar to this copy are several pencil drawings inside the book, including a landscape drawing with a windmill at the bottom of the title page. The drawings appear to be signed, but the signature cannot be definitively identified.

The binding shows signs of age and slight fraying on the spine, fitting for a book almost 140 years old. The interior is sturdy and complete.

A characterful antique book with personal history — literarily and decoratively appealing.
