Description

Italy - GOETHE (Johann Wolfgang von). Das Roemische Carneval 1788. Montagnola, Officina Bodoni, 1924. In-4 (30 x 20.8 cm), 74 pp. untrimmed, lemon morocco, double framed in gilt fillets on the boards, 6-rib spine decorated with gilt double fillets, gilt author, title and date, filleted spines and chasses, gilt head, edged slipcase (Officina Bodoni fec.). Edition of 230 copies, this is one of 224 on Fabriano vellum and, among these, one of 12 deluxe copies bound in morocco by the publisher's workshop. The German text is printed in Bodoni typeface, Cancelleresco 20 pt. This is one of the first publications from Officina Bodoni, founded in 1922 by Hans Mardersteig (1892-1977), on the model of private presses. Each book was hand-composed by the publisher and printed on an old-fashioned hand press. Rome's carnival was one of the most beautiful, spectacular and famous in the world. Although it disappeared at the end of the 19th century, we know about it from numerous paintings and descriptions, the most famous of which was by Goethe, who attended in 1787. His room, located in via del Corso, was at the heart of the carnival. In his description, Goethe provides interesting details, notably on the confetti-making process, which involved using a funnel to make small balls of colored plaster. Brown morocco bookplate on upper flyleaf, sales notes pasted on first white binder's leaf. Pale freckling on the white endpapers and very rare in the text, otherwise a very fine deluxe copy in the publisher's lemon morocco.
