Abstract

This article discusses the use of illustrations -- and their relinquishment -- in the first edition of collected works by Johann Wolfgang Goethe (Goethe's Schriften, 1786--90) and focuses on three illustrations by the pre-eminent eighteenth-century artist Angelica Kauffmann (1741–1807), done in Rome. They form, I argue, real illustrations, not mere decor or images independent from the text.
