Small band with swabian folk songs. Spine with titles. Dark green binding, on the inside of which is an exlibris of Eugen B. Auerbach with his portrait in profile. On the endpaper a handwritten signature of Berthold Auerbach.

Provenance

Received from the Department of Culture. In existence there since the 1980s. Formerly owned by Eugen Berthold Auerbach, who pasted his ex-libris into the book, and Berthold Auerbach, who signed the endpaper by hand. Berthold Auerbach, actually Moses Baruch Auerbacher, (born 28.02.1812 in Nordstetten (today part of Horb); died 8.02.1882 in Cannes) was a Jewish German writer. His son Eugen Berthold Auerbach (1852-1922) was a lawyer and notary with his own law office in Berlin, Lindenstraße. His sons Peter (born 1892 in Berlin, died 25.11.1941) and Kurt (born 1893 in Berlin, died 24.03.1941) were anti-Semitically persecuted and murdered. Two grandsons are known. Other previous owners of the book are unknown.
