The Tale of Lohengrin, Knight of the Swan, First trade edition, in the publisher's deluxe leather binding. In this beautifully decorated production, Pogany finds "a congenial theme for his exceptional powers in the high imaginings, the terror, and mysticism, the symbolism and supernatural vision of one of Wagner's immortal romances... The pages are beautified with decorative drawings that are fittingly in tune with the changing moods of the text" (Adcock).
