Sammtliche Schriften, 33 Volumes - Lessing, Gotthold Ephraim

Berlin, Wossischen Buchhandlung, . German. Hardcover. Size: 12mo 7" - 7. No apostrophe at title pages . . . but this is a lot of thirty-three (33) individual volumes of the works from one of the major voices in 18th and 19th century German literature, Gotthold Ephraim Lessing, thus "Lessings Sammtliche Schriften." Short, squat volumes in hardcover format, measuring 6 1/8" x 4 1/4" tall and wide, respectively. Bound in brown marbled paper over boards, calf leather over tips and spines, gilt-stamped and decorated green cloth volume labels over spines, also gilt-stamped and ruled quite voluminously so as to resemble designs. Quite attractive purple and brown marbled endpapers front and rear to each volume. Moderate rubbing to tips, edges, spine heads and feet, light crackings to some joints, some abrasions to, peelings of green cloth volume labels, though all affixed and since glue-repaired neatly, and with most pink silk linen ribbon bookmarks still bound in securely. Some cracking and creasing to spines, else still quite sturdily bound. Moderate foxing at endpapers, else dissipating generally to the otherwise quite bright interiors.
