First authorized complete edition. Rare with an almost complete suite of engraved frontispieces, and with the scarce subscribers lists in vol. 1 and 4. Very unusually in literature publishing, this collected edition contains a wealth of first editions, including the Faustfragment, Egmont, Iphigenie, Torquato Tasso and 56 poems, with the Werther here for the first time printed in its final form. Hagen 11 and 11a.

8 volumes, octavo (155 x 90mm). With 7 engraved frontispieces (the one in vol. 7 a facsimile), engraved vignettes on titles, 2 engraved vignettes to text (occasional spotting throughout, two frontispieces reinforced at gutter). Late 19th-century half calf, sides filleted in gilt, paneled spines filleted in blind and tooled in gilt with blue morocco lettering-pieces (some light rubbing and wear). Provenance: K.W. Justi (1769-1846) (inscription) — K? W. Schmidt (19th-century inscription) — Friederike Justi (modern bookplate).
