1857 - Shiller’s Song of the Bell (German and hotsell English, Illustrated)

This book has been in my possession since I was about 14 years old. So, around 20 years. I wasn't certain about letting this one go, but it has been sitting on my shelf for that long and I feel it should be on the shelf of someone who is going to appreciate its contents more.

This book is almost 165-years-old. The beginning of the book is all in German and the second portion of text is in English. It is the lyrics of a poem, and then explanations of hotsell each verse. The majority of the book is thicker paper and each page is an illustration of part of the poem. The condition of the pages are each their own. Nothing is torn or ripped but as you can see in the pictures, the illustrations all have spots of decay. They do not obstruct from seeing the images, but they are there.
