a piece of 19th-century German literary history with this second edition of The Last Bouquet (“Der letzte Strauß”), a finely bound collection of mixed poems by Karl Gerok. Issued in Stuttgart by Greiner & Pfeiffer in 1885, this volume showcases Gerok’s lyrical reflections—each poem a small floral offering of faith, nature, and hope.
The deluxe red cloth cover is richly embellished with gold-stamped floral artwork, making it as much a display piece as a reading copy. A compact keepsake for collectors of vintage books, German poetry enthusiasts, and anyone drawn to ornate bindings.
