1925 FAUST 1^ed Johann Goethe Esoteric Devil SIGNED Harry Clarke ART Illustrated

“As soon as you trust yourself, you will know how to live.”

― Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, Faust

‘Faust’ is one of the most iconic German tales of legend, telling the tale of an unsatisfied man who makes a deal with the devil exchanging his soul for whatever his earthly desires might be. The story has most famously been adapted by Johann von Goethe, an adaptation which has become one of the most important versions of Faust’s legend.

Early 20^th-century edition is a stunning work. One of only 1000 copies, this work features the artwork of Harry Clarke, whose art famously appeared in works of horror and esoteric literature such as Edgar Allan Poe. Translated into English by John Anster. This particular example is numbered no. 329 and signed by Clarke!
