Ehrmann, Theophil Friedrich

Prag, in der Diesbachischen Buchhandlung, 1808 Second edition. (2), 604, (2) pp. + 3 engraved plates and 17 engraved fold-out plates, of which 2 are hand coloured. Contemporary half-leather binding with gilt spine, red and black spine labels and marbled boards. Spine ends slightly rubbed, corners bumped and rubbed, endpapers slightly discoloured. Interior with some occasional foxing, page 95 with tiny loss at lower corner, page 397 with tiny hole at upper corner, the last two pages with somewhat unevenly cut margins, a couple of the plates with tiny tears in the margins.

Second edition of this work, which was first published in Weimar the previous year. (Neueste Länder- und Völkerkunde. Ein Geographische Lesebuch für alle Stände. Vierter Band.) This copy lacks the maps of Denmark, Iceland, Sweden and Norway. The maps are quite rarely seen and were probably originally not bound with this copy, no traces of their removal are to be found.
