POGANY, Willy Tannhauser A Dramatic Poem, by Richard Wagner, Freely Translated in Poetic Narrative Form by T.W.R. Rolleston

G.G. Harrap & Co., 1911.

First edition illustrated by Pogany. 4to. Grey cloth with gilt lettering and decoration in gilt and blue. Pictorial endpapers. Sixteen colour plates mounted on art paper (one with light corner crease), plus two tone and line illustrations throughout, each page being beautifully decorated. A near fine copy, small mark to upper joint.

Pogany has designed and decorated the whole book, where his use of elaborate borders, calligraphic text and Art Nouveau style of artistic detail are well suited to the dramatic telling of this story of sacred and profane love.
