STACKELBERG, Otto Magnus von. Bilder aus dem Leben der Neugriechen.

239 x 321 mm. Title, foreword and list of lithographs, 10 hand-colored lithographs after Stackelberg, descriptive texts, 22 loose leaves in total. (very light foxing to the text leaves and the margins of the lithographs). Original cloth portfolio (gold and blind tooling to the upper cover, silk-lined interior, ex-libris Carl Winter). Cf. Blackmer 1591. --- These ten lithographs would become the second part of Trachten und Gebräuche der Neugriechen, but the author didn't get to realize the edition due to his early death in 1837. Forty years later, Natalie von Stackelberg, his niece, pulled from his archive the ten lithographs and the accompanying texts, and set things right.
