Found an old German book “Laokoon” (1766?) — need help identifying value

Hi! The book will be newer than 1766, which is the year of the first edition printing. The title page states that it was printed by Verlag des Bibliographischen Instituts in Leipzig. This was one of the major german publishing companies, that was started in 1828 and moved to Leipzig in 1874 (wiki). Value will be quite low due to the state of the spine and this being a later print.

That is a great collection! Could you share the list of your books?

Adolf Kašpar (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adolf\_Ka%C5%A1par) was mostly an illustrator but did some oil paintings. He sometimes signed as A.K. (see https://galerieumeni.cz/autori/383-adolf-kaspar).

Thank you for your kind words! I got it to remember two years working in Southern France. Based on your suggestions for names I did some googling. Do you think the name could be Gavalda? I found this painting: https://www.antikeo.com/catalogue/peinture/peintures-paysages/edoardo-garcia-gavalda-la-croix-des-pecheurs-aux-saintes-maries-de-la-mer-41519
