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.

The interior remains clean and well-preserved, with a frontispiece portrait and elegantly set type. Undine, a romantic fairy tale rooted in European folklore, has long been admired for its ethereal narrative and enduring literary significance.

A highly displayable example, combining decorative binding appeal with classic literary content in a desirable small format.

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.

Size: 4 1/2” x 6 1/2” (pocket-sized)

A beautifully bound and collectible edition—ideal for both reading and display.
