[Konigsberg]: Not published, 1825 - 1830. Unique.. Full contemporary gilt stamped leather.. A very good copy; front hinge broken; a number of leaves loose in casing.. Oblong 8vo. There are two full page watercolor landscape and allegorical renderings.

A charming friendship album containing two exceptional watercolor renderings. The first may well depict a part of Konisgsberg showing people enjoying a moonlit evening at a lake; the second is an allegorical rendering by Johann Julius Rast (1806 - 1842) who would have a brief career as a landscape and miniature artist.. He has also left a signed poetic sentiment opposite the watercolor. Thieme / Becker, 28: 25.
