Contact seller5-star sellerThree Quarter Leather. Condition: Good. Danish language. Bound in original three-quarter leather and marbled boards; 832 pages (actually, half that, as each page is numbered twice, once for each column). Illustrated throughout with excellent 19th century engravings. Volume 1, number 1, to volume 1, number 52 (the complete year).… All edges marbled. University of Wisconsin professor Rasmus B. Anderson's copy, with his signature and date (23 Dec. 1871) to the front pastedown, along with his gift bookplate to the State Historical Society of Wisconsin (1930). The book was later purchased by Norwegian-American collector Herman Gimmestad; he has signed the Historical Society bookplate. The volume shows moderate edgewear and rubbing, with some external wear at the joints, but no splits. Hinges solid; binding square. Leaf 33/34 - 35/36 was torn out at some point; it was subsequently reattached, although backwards, so that the straight fore-edge could be used to reattached the leaf. There is no loss of text, and a proper restoration is quite possible. The text contains a few penciled marginal brackets and notes; these do not obscure the text. A tightly bound, well illustrated volume, with an excellent association. Size: 4to - over 9¾" - 12" tall. Engravings (illustrator).
