Illustrated with an original etching by Joseph Goldyne. 8vo. bound in original black morocco-backed sepia-coloured paper over boards. New York: Ursus Books 2007. A handsome new edition of this classic fable about collecting. Zweig's story set in Germany in the aftermath of the First World War is timeless. It eloquently evokes the magic of collecting the excitement of dealing and the pleasures and complexities of ownership. Joseph Goldyne the distinguished California artist who is himself a renowned collector has thoughtfully produced an illustration which successfully solves the problem of how to illustrate a book which on first reading would seem to defy the concept of illustration. Peter Koch has designed and printed as elegant a version of Zweig's story as one could hope for. One of an edition of only 50 copies elegantly printed by Peter Koch in San Francisco and containing a signed etching by Joseph Goldyne. The colophon is signed by both Peter Koch and Joseph Goldyne.
