Undine by de la Motte Fouqué | Decorative Cloth Binding | H.M. Caldwell New York | Pocket Size

A beautiful pocket-sized edition of Undine by Friedrich de la Motte Fouqué, published by H.M. Caldwell Company, New York. This edition is especially appealing for its decorative Art Nouveau-style cloth binding, featuring an intricate golden and silver ornamental frame with delicate floral accents across the boards and spine.

Binding remains firm and secure. A small pinhole-sized opening at the front outer hinge, with a short (approximately 1”) interior hinge crack; structurally sound overall. Light, typical age toning; pages remain clean.

Condition: Very Good.
