When it's the late 18th century your friend who just got rejected by their crush goes out dressed like Werther:

It's Fine Press Friday!

One of the early productions of the Limited Editions Club was Faust by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (1749-1832), with reproduced watercolor illustrations by American artist and illustrator René Clarke (1886-1959) and a translation for this edition by Alice Raphael (1887-1975), printed in an edition of 1500 copies signed by the artist and issued on March 22, 1932 to mark the centenary of the author's death. The book was also designed by Clarke and printed in New York by the Bartlett-Aldus Press in W. A. Dwiggins' Metro type on a special rag paper imported from Italy, and bound in dark-red cloth stamped in gold with a pattern by Clarke.

“They helped and inspiried each other in their writing. They wrote about each other and were so connect that the most important monument about them shows them together. If this isn't enough after the death of Schiller Goethe kept his skull on his desk and even wrote a poem about it.”
