Item description from seller

First Edition. Hardcover. The Ring of the Nibelung-Richard Wagner's iconic cycle of four musical dramas inspired by Norse mythology, Germanic legend, and the Nibelungenlied-finds its glorious, fiery end here, in this 1911 first edition of Siegfried and The Twilight of the Gods, the second and third days respectively in Wagner's Ring Cycle, illustrated by Arthur Rackham (1867-1939), hero of the Golden Age of Illustration. In Rackham's 30 epic mounted and tissue-guarded color plates, we meet in true form the fearless Siegfried, raised by dwarves to slay the dragon Fafnir and regain the magic ring he guards, his tragic lover: the Valkyrie Brunnhilde, the scheming siblings who seek to destroy their union, the water nymphs of the River Rhine who try to warn him, and the three Norns who shape human fates and divine the burning of Valhalla and the end of the gods in his wake. 10 1/4" X 7 3/4". ix, 182pp. Present nicely in protective archival jacket. Bound in tan woven cloth over boards, with Siegfried, surrounded by fire and dragons, stamped in gilt to upper board, with dragon eating its tail to spine, both lettered in gilt. Mild wear to binding, with some soiling to cloth, gentle bumping to extremities, and rather harder scattered rubbing. Pictorial endpapers depict the naked Rhine-Maidens in their native river, line drawn in orange. Hint of spine near rear endpapers; binding remains quite firm and sound. Occasional foxing to pages throughout, else unmarked. Complete in 30 tissue-guarded color plates, a title vignette of the Norns reading the future from threads over a dragon's corpse, and several small black and white decorations throughout.

Description de la boutique

Underground Books, ABAA is an online rare and antiquarian bookshop, founded in 2011 as a brick and mortar general bookstore of the same name in downtown Carrollton, Georgia, which is now operated by out former store manager as The Underground Bookshop. Co-owners Josh Niesse and Megan Bell met in 2011, just 10 days or so after Josh opened the doors of Underground Books, literally underground, several steps below street level in a 100-year-old basement in our historic downtown. Megan, an English student at the University of West Georgia, walked in, fell down the rabbit hole, and never left! Reader, we married in May of 2014, under the book arch that now resides at the bookshop. We are both proud alumni of the Colorado Antiquarian Book Seminar (CABS), and Megan additionally of Rare Book School at the University of Virginia and of the ABAA Women’s Initiative Mentorship Program. Like many booksellers with open brick-and-mortar stores, we are passionate generalists, but our specialties are in decorative publisher's cloth bindings; fairy tales, folklore, and mythology; popular science and natural history; the occult; and fine press books.
