About This Item
Hamar: Ciget Forlag / Prentab hjaa D. Arnesen, 1876. Hardcover. Very Good. Norwegian language. Bound in brick cloth with titles stamped in gilt; 97 pages. Stated as "second thousand" (andre tusundet) on the title page and dated 1876, so a likely second printing, issued in the same year as the first edition. The signature of Julius E. Olson, the second Professor of Scandinavian Languages at the University of Wisconsin (Madison), appears on both the front free endpaper and the title page. The front pastedown carries the bookplate of Norwegian-American collector Herman Gimmestad, who likely acquired the book in Madison, where he attended college in the 1940s. The cloth shows only very light wear at the extremities. The spine has the remains of a title label, with the printing no longer visible. The area between the second blank and the title page is slightly pulled, but there is no actual separation in the binding. Hinges solid; binding square. A clean, tight copy of an uncommon early Norwegian printing. Size: 16mo - over 5¾" - 6¾" tall
