Author: Morgenstern, Christian

Publisher: Hago Verlag (?) 1920.

Description: 32p illustrated manuscript unsigned except for the clue "Hago Verlag" to title page, each poem with illustration, written in black ink on somewhat translucent paper, amazing craftmanship in terms of lettering (can not spot a single error correction) and in terms of charming illustrations. The collection contains (in this sequence) Bundeslied, Nein, Das Gebet, Der Zwölf-Elf, Mondschaf, Lunovis, Rabe Ralf, Fisches Nachtgesang, das Hemmed, der Trichter, etc ending with KM 21, Geiss und Schleiche. Page height 11cm, edges rough-cut, a line from the illustration on page 19 seems to continue on to page 21, text only on rectos, except for Mondschaf / Lunovis which are on facing pages, the collection is bound in plain boards and red cloth spine amateur binding which is somewhat degraded over time, but still holding well. Small title label to front, a unique and attractive item
