Wie's am Tage geht; 48 Originalzeichnungen in Farben

Dresden: C. C. Meinhold & Sohne, 1884. First Edition. Good. With 17 color plates, including one on front board. Notwithstanding the title suggesting 48, the volume appears complete, and the 48 in the title seems to refer in actuality to the number of illustrations within the text proper. Wegehaupt II 2046. Regardless, the chromolithographic plates are delightful, redolent as they are of an idyllic German village life that may never have been so pretty. The hinges are cracked in several places. The paper pastedowns are chipped along the edges. Light soiling here and there.
