First Edition. First Edition. Association Copy, INSCRIBED by translator Alice Raphael to playwright George Middleton and his wife, activist and actress Fola La Follette on the half-title page: "For Fola and George / in abiding affection / Ever Alice / Sept. 21. 1955." Middleton's nephew David's ownership stamp on the front pastedown. New Jersey-born playwright, director, and producer George Middleton served as president of the Dramatists Guild of America from 1927 to 1929. He is perhaps best remembered today for his instrumental role in creating the Minimum Basic Agreement, a collective bargaining agreement that covers benefits, rights, and protections for Writers Guild of America members. Middleton was also known for his collaborations with Guy Bolton, including the successful 1917 stage comedy "Polly With a Past," basis for the 1920 film adaptation. The daughter of Senator Robert M. "Fighting Bob" La Follette and women's suffrage leader Belle Case, Flora Dodge "Fola" La Follette was a stage actress, teacher, and writer as well as an activist for the women's suffrage and labor movements. She married Middleton in 1911. Very Good in wrappers, with moderate wear overall, a few small splashes on the bottom portion of the front wrapper, and a lightly faded spine. Signed.…

Bind fine, square; hinges fully intact. Includes original Heritage Press literary supplement laying bare the effort and diligence put forth producing this finely crafted, richly beautiful volume and the history of Goethe and Delecroix's amicable, respectful as artists, relation during their lifetimes. Goethe gave high praise to these illustrations during his lifetime, saying they opened new insights into his very own masterwork. The eighteen lithographs are accepted as perfect pictures, enlivening and supplementing Faust's text and stimulating the imagination and intelllect. Considered one of the greatest illustrated books ever. This book utilizes a set of pulls of the original Delacroix lithographs, in the first state of their first edition commissioned to Arthur Jaffe by the New York Public Library. Goethe's masterpiece and perhaps the greatest work in German literature, Faust has made the legendary German alchemist one of the central myths of the Western world. Faust, an audacious man, boldly wagering with the devil, Mephistopheles, that no magic, sensuality, experience, or knowledge can lead him to a moment he would wish to last forever. Here, in Faust, Part I, the tremendous versatility of Goethe's genius creates some of the most beautiful passages in literature. Here too we experience Goethe's characteristic humor, the excitement and eroticism of the witches' Walpurgis Night, and the moving emotion of Gretchen's tragic fate. 183 pages with xiv introductory pages.
