HESSE, HERMANN Zwölf Gedichte. S. l., 1949. 24] ff. in-8 oblong (20.7 x 24.3 cm) on Ingres laid paper, cover illustrated with the same paper. Very beautiful autograph manuscript by Hermann Hesse, illustrated by him: each poem bears, above the title, a small vignette drawn in brown ink and watercolour; the title on the cover is also inscribed in a medallion decorated in watercolour by the author. These figures show views of the Ticino region at different times of the year. In 1900, Hermann Hesse began producing manuscript collections of his poems, usually in sets of 12, sometimes in sets of 6, which he offered or sold to his friends and admirers. He had also declined the process by illustrating typewritten poems with watercolors. This collection contains the following poems: Zusammenhang, Für Ninon, Dem Ziel entgegen, Jugendflucht, Vergänglichkeit, Reisekunst, Flötenspiel, Leb wohl, Frau Welt, Beim Schlafen gehen, Der Heiland, Elisabeth, Glück. The colophon, signed by Hesse, indicates that this manuscript was written and painted in the year 1949. Small tears in the fold of the cover, very rare stains.
