Description

“Mohort: a knight’s rhapsody from a story with 24 il. Wincenty Pol’s “Juliusz Kossak”, published in Lviv around 1883 by the F. H. Richter (H. Altenberg) bookstore, is a fascinating journey into the world of Romantic poetry and painting. This book, which appears very rarely, is not only an edition of the poetic work of Wincenty Pol, but also a true work of graphic art, richly illustrated by the outstanding painter Juliusz Kossak. Kossak’s 24 illustrations, faithfully depicting the atmosphere and mood of the rhapsody, are an extremely valuable addition to the content of the book itself. “Mohort” is a story of brave knights, their valiant deeds and romantic love, and Kossak’s illustrations add a unique dimension to it. The book is an extremely valuable copy for collectors and lovers of Polish literature and painting of the 19th century.
The binding made of high-quality fine leather, handmade by the renowned Polish Antiquarian Bookbindery, adds a unique and elegant look to this exceptional copy. Hand finishing guarantees durability and exclusivity. Owning such a book is not only an investment in a rare collector’s item, but also a prestigious image piece. Rare editions with illustrations by prominent painters, especially in such good condition and with such an exceptional binding, are highly valued on the antiquarian market. “Mohort” by Wincenty Pol is not only a valuable item in a private library, but also an expression of refined taste and interest in art and literature.
