Goethe, F.
Die Vogelinsel Mellum. Beiträge zur Monographie eines deutschen Seevogelschutzgebietes.
Berlin, R. Friedländer & Sohn, 1939. Large 4to (31.3 x 26.2 cm). 110 pp.; five plates, 50 text illustrations. Slightly later blue half cloth over blue marbled boards. Spine with gilt lines and title. Speckled edges. Original printed wrappers bound in.
A very nicely bound copy of a very uncommon work. Illustrations include distribution maps and dispersal diagrams. The plates show the tiny North Sea island of Mellum, birds, and nests. Friedrich Goethe (1911-2003) was director of the bird observatory at Heligoland. An excellent, clean and unmarked copy.
