DELACROIX (Eugène) & GOETHE. Faust. Tragedy by M. de Goethe, translated into French by M. Albert Stapfer. Paris, Motte et Sautelet, 1828. In-folio of [2] ff., IV-148 pp. Dim. ff. 41.6 x 27.5 cm. Half blond calf, ornate smooth spine, dark brown title page (later binding). Portrait of the author and 17 engraved illustrations by DELACROIX. All plates bear the Motte address, characteristic of the first printing according to Delteil, 57-74. (Carteret III, 270 "a remarkable work typical of the Romantic period, a masterly illustration by the great Delacroix, who is fortunately increasingly esteemed by tasteful bibliophiles"; Vicaire III, 1013). The first edition of the beautiful illustrations drawn by Delacroix and lithographed by Motte; the first literary text illustrated by lithography (discovered by Senefelder in 1796 and introduced in France from 1818), this fine publication is considered the first modern book by a painter. Goethe himself was a particular admirer of Delacroix's genius, as demonstrated in his Faust: "Faust is a work that goes from heaven to earth, from the possible to the impossible, from coarseness to delicacy; all the antitheses that the play of a daring imagination can create are brought together in it, so M. Delacroix felt there as if at home and in his family [...] It must be admitted that this M. Delacroix is a great talent. Delacroix is a great talent who found his true nourishment in Faust [...] And if I have to agree that M. Delacroix has surpassed the pictures I had painted of the scenes written by myself, all the more reason will readers find these compositions full of life, and going far beyond the images they had created for themselves [...]" (Interviews with Eckermann). Unwashed copy, brown spots. A fine copy on Hollande paper containing the lithographs on wove paper.
