![[picture: Front Cover, Homer’s Odyssey]](https://www.fromoldbooks.org/Sachsen-Odyssey/tn/000-front-cover-q75-366x500.jpg "[picture: Front Cover, Homer’s Odyssey]")
Images from the Breitkopf & Härtel 1894 (fourth edition) publication of Homer’s Odyssey, with 40 original illustrations by Friedrich Preller, made into woodcuts (i think) by R. Brend’amour and K. Oertel.
This is a large book, roughly 11x15 inches (28x38cm) with gold on the cover (and also cat scratches: much as we loved Abundance of Rain, he was a little destructive).
I bought this book at alt-saarbrücker antiquariat alt-saarbrücker antiquariat (i think) in Saarbrücken, Germany, on a trip to the LibreGraphicsMeeting conference in 2019, for which my travel was i think funded by the GNU Image Manipulation Program (GIMP) project.
Johann Heinrich Voss made his translation of the Odyssey into German in 1781.
