Berthold, Gustav (Pseud.: Guido Waldner): Zampa, die Tochter der Wildniß, oder: Das Räubermädchen im Böhmerwalde. Romantische Erzählung aus dem 15. Jahrhundert. Dresden: J. Breyer, o. J. (um 1860). 17,3 x 11 cm. With a colour lithograph on the front cover and 13 colour lithograph plates. 446 pp. Half-leather binding with gilt spine title.
(Rubbed, rear spine joint torn, spine detached from the book block. Binding loosened. Title page with a tear to the outer edge and a nobleman’s stamp. Showing signs of age and brown staining. pp. 315–316 with a small corner tear.)
A rare romantic-historical tale set in the Bohemian Forest, taking place in the 15th century and written entirely in the style of the popular 19th-century adventure and outlaw literature.
