Seller: Musinsky Rare Books, Inc.

Title: Gott gefällige Andachtsübung des heiligen Kreuzweges
Author: STATIONS OF THE CROSS
Seller: Musinsky Rare Books, Inc. (United States)
Description: Amberg: s.n., 1840. 12mo (134 x 98 mm.). 46 pp. Title woodcut and 14 half-page woodcuts in the text. Light dampstain in second half. Contemporary block-printed paper over pasteboards, blue-sprinkled edges. A Bavarian chapbook edition of the Stations of the Cross, well-preserved in its patterned paper case binding. Following the papal permission granted by Innocent XI in 1686 to the Franciscans (the originators of the Vie dolorose found throughout Europe) to erect Stations of the Cross within their churches, the original seven Stations were extended to fourteen. The iconographical theme remained highly popular in Bavaria and South Germany, and painted or sculpted Stations of the Cross are still nearly as common as Madonnas or Crucifixes in village churches throughout the region. KVK locates one copy of this edition (Frankfurt Univ.), and two other editions from Amberg, from 1840 and 1848, both printed by Biechele.

Condition: Very Good-
Description: New York/Los Angeles: Samuel French. Very Good-. (c.1931). Unstated ed.. Softcover. [some age-toning at edges of covers and along spine, small bump and slight tear at lower front hinge, a couple of short diagonal creases at bottom right corner of front cover, long faint diagonal crease at top corner of rear cover, stamped on both covers (and once inside) "IMPORTANT! RETURN Story Dept." (but without specifying what entity's Story Dept.), a number of pencil annotations in the margins of Act One]. Comedy of manners about a romantic triangle. The original production starred Leslie Howard (who also co-produced), and marked his return to Broadway after his intial foray in Hollywood -- and when the play itself had finished its run (183 performances from January through June 1932), back he went to Hollywood to star in the film version, which was released at the end of the year. (Howard next trod the Broadway boards in 1935, in "The Petrified Forest," which followed the same pattern.) "The Animal Kingdom" was filmed again 1946, under the title ONE MORE TOMORROW. .
