“AMOR UND PSYCHE” (Amor and Psyche) is a work depicting the story of Amor (Eros), the god of love in Greek mythology, and the beautiful maiden Psyche. It is frequently featured in Western art and literature. The illustrated edition by Paul Thumann, published in 1883 and offered here, is particularly beautiful and highly regarded. Thumann's illustrations, with their detailed line drawings utilizing the copperplate engraving techniques of the time, poetically express the trials of love between Amor and Psyche. You will be captivated by the delicate and elegant illustrations, characterized by a dreamy atmosphere and an image that blends mythical grandeur. The binding features beautiful 19th-century book design with elaborate decorations that show attention to detail. Furthermore, the elegant typography influenced by Gothic and Neoclassical styles is also eye-catching. The condition shows some wear on the top and bottom of the spine, but there is almost no foxing, and the book is in beautiful condition.
