In der Strafkolonie. Title and initials in blue. 68, (4) pp. Large 8vo. Orig. half calf with gilt-lettered spine title. Boards covered in green marbled paper. Top edge gilt, other edges uncut. Leipzig, (W. Drugulin for) Kurt Wolff, 1919.
"Drugulin-Drucke", Neue Folge, No. 4. First edition. Despite a severe paper shortage immediately following World War I, “Wolff was able to use genuine laid paper for this fourth book in the new series of Drugulin-Drucke, on which the letters appear sharply defined. Featuring a two-color title page and partially bound in half calf, 'In der Strafkolonie' consistently continues, in terms of its presentation, the line of Kafka’s 'major' books that began with 'Betrachtungen', all of which have thus appeared as bibliophile editions” (Dietz). The print run was 1,000 copies. – Wilpert/G. 5; Raabe 146.5; Dietz 50. – Pp. 55/56 with small repair on lower edge. Some browning.
