Description
Very good, strong impressions. In this major graphic work, inspired by Böcklin's imagery, Klinger creates a total work of art with imaginative, almost surreal interpretations of the music, in which the score sometimes merges with the illustration. – The pages with a few light finger marks, the margins with small foxing spots, the cover is slightly bumped, otherwise in good condition.
