He studied at the then Swedish University of Göttingen and was in 1802 appointed by the Swedish-Pomeranian nobility assessor at the Wismar Tribunal. He became Prussian Minister of Justice between 1832 and 1842. Kamptz was very conservative and got the nickname ”Liberalen-Fresser” in the press and E. T. A. Hoffmann caricatured him in his work ”Master Floh” as ”Weisen Rat Knarrpanti". Kamptz was active in the pursuit of the ”Jacobin” liberal activities at the Wartburg Festival in 1817, some of his books were among the ones burnt at the end of the festival, and together with Furst von Metternich he was one of the toughest opponents and pursuers of the freedom of press issued in Sachsen-Weimar in 1816 under Grand Duke Carl August. Not only in the literature, but also in the contemporary liberal press Kamptz opposed strong resistance.

The colour plates with printed tissue paper guards. Publ. brown blindstamped cloth, spine sligthly faded and some wear at corners. Owner’s signature of Lauritz Falk and with ex-library stamp of Kungl. Dramatiska teatern. Rare first edition. Text in Russian. An English translation was published in 1935. Preface by Abraham Efros. An hommage to Alexander Tairov’s modernist Kamerny Theatre in Moscow, with fine drawings of set- and costume design and scenes after photographs from its first 20 years. Alexander Tairov (1885-1950) produced many modern non-russian plays by Berthold Brecht, Eugene O’Neill, Oscar Wilde and G. B. Shaw and he collaborated with many of the foremost avant-garde artists in cubism, constructivism etc. The gouverment closed down the theatre in 1949. Abraham Efros (1888-1954) from Moscow was a translator, poet, art historian, and critic. After 1917 he served on the commission for the protection of artistic and antique treasures in the Russian Soviet Republic, and on the boards of among other the Tretyakov Gallery and the GOSET (Moscow State Jewish Theater). In the Stalinist purges of the late 1930s, Efros was arrested and exiled, and in the late 1940s he was ousted from his academic posts. The former owner is probably the Swedish-Norwegian actor and painter Lauritz Falk (1909-90).
