First edition. - Singer 64-109: “The enchanting illustrations for *Amor and Psyche* are Klinger’s only etched work that truly illustrates a poet’s text.” — Dedicated to Johannes Brahms, this work was published in a very small print run, as prints were produced only as needed. - The 31 etched vignettes were printed on China paper and rolled flat; the 15 full-page etchings were printed on heavy brownish paper, specially folded, and protected with interleaves. - Some foxing. *
