Item description from seller

Was Willst Du Werden? 1880 Fourth Edition Oscar Pletsch Verlag von Alphons Durr, Leipzig An attractive original 1880 fourth edition of Was Willst Du Werden?, illustrated by Oscar Pletsch, with woodcuts by Hugo Burkner and rhymes and stanzas by Julius Lohmeyer. This charming German children's book introduces a wide variety of occupations through short rhymes and beautifully detailed woodcut illustrations. Each occupation is accompanied by its own illustration and verse, making this an especially appealing example of nineteenth century German illustrated children's literature. The book contains 43 illustrations, including the title illustration, depicting occupations and everyday trades of the period. Occupations illustrated include: Maurer, Zimmermann, Schornsteinfeger, Buchdrucker, Barbier, Maschinenbauer, Soldat, Hutmacher, Bildhauer, Photograph, Kufer, Tischler, Gastwirth, Gartner, Gerber, Lohnkutscher, Schiffer, Schmied, Schuhmacher, Buchbinder, Arzt, Prediger, Muller, Landmann, Schneider, Musiker, Weber, Backer, Lehrer, Kaufmann, Buchhandler, Studio, Topfer, Maler, Kunstreiter, Conditor, Jager, Klempner, Apotheker, Fleischer, Seiler and Polizist. The illustrations provide a fascinating glimpse into the trades, professions and working life of the late nineteenth century. CONDITION Original hardcover binding with minor scuffs and signs of age appropriate wear. The book remains attractive overall. There is no writing or ownership inscription in the book. The title page has an old imprint left from a previous paper insert which has since been removed. This is a historical mark rather than writing or an inscription and does not detract significantly from the attractive appearance of the book. The illustrated pages are clean and appealing, with the woodcut illustrations and accompanying verses throughout. A wonderful example of nineteenth century German illustrated children's literature, particularly suitable for collectors of Oscar Pletsch, German children's books, illustrated books, woodcuts and Victorian era publishing.

Description de la boutique

Driven by a lifelong passion for rare books and the stories they carry, I specialize in curating historically significant works that illuminate the evolution of human thought — from early science and natural philosophy to exploration, conservation, and cultural heritage. My interest lies not only in the rarity of the object, but in its ability to teach, inspire, and connect us to the past. My catalog includes antiquarian books, early printed works, manuscripts and treatises from the 18th and 19th centuries, with a focus on natural history, science, exploration, and the preservation of the natural world. I'm especially drawn to works that document the early scientific imagination — from botanical studies and anatomical treatises to philosophical texts that predate modern scientific methods. You’ll also find books and ephemera related to wilderness exploration, wildlife studies, environmental stewardship, and the history of the American landscape, including materials on Southern Americana and the development of the U.S. National Parks. As someone based in Tennessee, I carry a deep respect for the region’s natural and cultural history, often reflected in my selections. I have a particular interest in provenance — volumes with notable ex-libris, inscriptions, marginalia, and ownership histories that offer a second layer of narrative. These marks of human connection and intellectual legacy are, to me, as valuable as the texts themselves. Each book I offer is part of my ongoing education — and my goal is to pass that learning on. Whether you’re a private collector, institutional buyer, or fellow enthusiast, I look forward to helping you discover works that are not only rare, but meaningful.
