Outstanding collection<br />

of important first editions<br />

by Hans christian Andersen<br />

At the forthcoming international auction in November we present a unique<br />

collection of more than 70 important and rare first editions by the danish<br />

fairy tale author Hans christian Andersen.<br />

The collection includes Hans christian Andersen’s very first and rarest book<br />

from 1822 written under the pseudonym Villiam christian Walter called<br />

“gjenfærdet ved Palnatokes grav”. Among the gems of the collection are<br />

also several important unregistered presentation copies, an inscribed copy<br />

of his very first published fairy tale from 1830, the first printing of “The<br />

Uckly duckling” from 1844 as well as his earliest collections of fairy tales<br />

“Eventyr fortalte for Børn” from 1835-42.<br />

The collection has been collected carefully and has for decades been in the<br />

possession of the same family. The works are in exceedingly good condition<br />

mostly with the original wrappers and bound in elegant bindings.<br />

A collection of this caliber and condition is only offered for sale once in<br />

a lifetime.<br />

Estimate: DKK 400,000-500,000 / 55,000.70,000
