FOREWORD 

Dear all clients, colleagues, collectors and friends, 

November is here and so are new catalogues from Kunstantikvariat PAMA. The exhibtion a year ago confirmed the continuing strenght of the 

market and the increased interest for fine and high quality antique maps and decorative prints, rare illustrated books, early views of Norway and 

important autograph letters. Most numbers in the catalogue sixteen were sold within the two weeks of the exhibition. 

A few month ago Kunstantikvariat PAMA moved the business address to Bygdøy Allé 10 and the official opening of our new gallery will take 

place in connection with this exhibition.There are two main catalogues published for 2009. This ”general” catalogue, our firm’s seventeenth, and

We are proud to present with you this interesting and beautiful assembling of important pictures. In addition, Kunstantikvariat PAMA has recently 

published a catalogue describing the map and book collection ”The Exploration of the North”. The unique collection consists of almost 150 items

A fine example in old colour of the early woodcut world map. Signed in 

the block by the woodcutter David Kandal (DK). The map was in use 

until 1578 and our copy has German text on reverse. The map shows a

“Americae sive Novi Orbis” 

Contemporary handcoloured engraving, 36x50cm 

ANTWERPEN 1579 

FIRST YEAR OF PUBLICATION. A FINE EXAMPLE OF ONE OF THE MOST FAMOUS MAPS OF THE NEW CONTINENT. 

A print from the second plate (of three) of the America map. This was in use from 1579 to 1587 and was only published in 5 editions of 

“Theatrum”. This second plate still has the bulge in the south-western coast of South America and is the most unusual of the three. Identical with 

the 1579 Latin edition according to Burden. 

Ortelius’s “Theatrum Orbis Terrarum” from 1570 is said to be the first atlas of the world were the maps were of a standard size. His maps had an 

enormous influence throughout Europe and were published in several languages and editions for more than 40 years. If you have a loose map from 

the “Theatrum-atlas”, there are reference works now available which can help you to distinguish the different editions. 

Three small printers creases lower left, some fraying to the edges of the margins. A very good copy!

from the 1595 or 1601 edition. 

The margin lower left and right with a browning, otherwise an excellent and decorative

de Weygats...” 

Engraved map by Baptist Van Doetecum, 41,8x56,7cm 

AMSTERDAM 1598 

A MAJOR LANDMARK IN ARCTIC CARTOGRAPHY, THE FIRST 

MAP TO DEPICT SPITSBERGEN. 

This very rare and much sought after map is based on information by the 

Dutch map maker and explorer Willem Barents and his three voyages to 

the north 1594, 95 and 96/97. The track of the last journey is shown on 

the map. Barents’ theory was to attempt to find a northeastern passage 

of open waters to the Pacific in the North Polar region. During the last 

voyage Barents and his crew became stuck on the ice and were forced 

to winter on the ice in the Polar regions of Novaya Zembla. Before this 

he rediscovered Spitsbergen and reached the Bear Island on July 1, 

14 


1596. In June 1597 Barents died here (in 1870’s Norwegian seal hunters 

discovered Barents winter place at Novaya Zembla) and the remainder 

of the crew (12 of 17) reached Kola and finely returned to Amsterdam 

in November 1597. Among the papers they brought with them was a 

sketch and a manuscript of a North Polar map drawn by Barents. It was 

copper engraved by Van Doetecum and published separately in 1598 by 

Cornelis Claesz or included in a few copies of Linschoten’s “Navigatio 

ac Itinerarium...”. Linschoten accompanied Barents on parts of his two 

first voyages. 

This highly decorative map contains 34 illustrations of sea monsters, 

ships and whales and the island “Polus Magnetis”. 

The usual folds, some browning along the upper horizontal fold. In 

general in a very fine condition with proper margins. A good impression.

11. GERHARD MERCATOR (1512 - 94) 

“Septentrionalium Terrarum descriptio” 


AMSTERDAM (1595) - c. 1609 - 19 

FAMOUS CIRCULAR POLAR MAP, ALSO DEPICTING 

SCANDINAVIA AND PARTS OF AMERICA AND ASIA. 

Clearly shown is the North Pole as the centre of the four streams. This 

idea was not based on any exploration and one explanation is that it 

goes back to mediaeval hand drawn T-O maps with Jerusalem in the 

centre and that the world’s four great rivers each had their source in 

Paradise. On the North Pole itself the map shows a mythical mountain. 

This is the second state of the map after re-engraving to include 

Spitsbergen and to changes of the shape of Nova Zemla. Shown is also 

the Northwest Passage that influenced English explorers. Our example 

is a French text edition page 41 published by the Mercator-Hondius map 

publishing business founded in 1604. 

A FINE EXAMPLE IN ORIGINAL COLOUR.

12. GERHARD MERCATOR - J. HONDIUS 

“Polus Arcticus cum vicinis regionibus” 



FIRST EDITION IN ORIGINAL COLOUR. 

The reduced North Pole map of the second state of Gerhard Mercator’s 

“Septentrionalium Terrarum”, see the entry above. Though there are a 

couple of noticeable differences. The map itself extends only down to 

the Arctic Circle and the small inset maps at the top of the Faeroes and 

Frisland have been reversed. Published in Mercator-Hondius “Atlas 

Minor”, first edition with Latin text and no page number verso. 

Excellent.

OF AN IMPORTANT ECONOMIC AND MINING DISTRICT OF 

FALUN IN SWEDEN. 

To the left is the following note: “Mit 12 Separate Risse, über die 

Königl. Schwedische die zu gehörige Kupfer=berge.” 

Our map seems to be a replica to the map from 1640 with the same title 

now in Riksarkivet, Sweden with the archive number “U.5”, but our 

copy seems to have been partly updated and completed in 1672. These 

changes are done in a different pen than rest of the map. 

Provenance: From the collection of Duke of York, collector’s label on 

the reverse. Sold in auction at Sotheby’s May or July 1827. The lion and 

the crown are symbols of the Kingdome of England. We are grateful to

“Poli Arctici Et Circumtacentium Terrarum Descriptio Novissima” + “Polus Antarcticus” 

2 contemporary handcolored engravings, each c. 43,5x49cm 

AMSTERDAM c. 1664 

A FINE , CLASSIC PAIR OF MAPS OF THE POLES. 

A uniform pair, the North Pole map, according to Burden, is in its unusual state 4 with the J. Janssonius imprint. This map (first state is 1636) is 

a modernized version of the Mercator Polar map from 1595/1606, see entry 10. On the Antarctic map, both cartouches are left blank in this state. 

Both maps have no text verso. “Poli Arctici” is surrounded by vignettes of arctic whaling. The “Polus Antarcticus” map has scenes with natives 

from the south Pacific, Pategonia. Magellanica and Cape of Good Hope. Tooley writes in “Mapping of Australia” no.10: “the first printed map as 

far as I know to show the discovery of Peter Nuyts land, or part of the south coast of Australia and was the best map of Australia prior to Tasman’s 

discoveries”. 

Both maps backed with fine tisssue paper, some restorations (mainly the Arctic map) along the centrefold.

moon, symbols of the four elements and the four seasons. Lower border has the seven wonders from the ancient world. Decorative elements include 

several ships, sea monsters and compass cards. Also depicted is the interest in and exploration of the North-East passsage.

“A New map of Denmark and Sweden According to the Newest and most Exact Observations” 


LONDON (c. 1710) – c. 1733 or later 

An impressive, large map of Scandinavia and the north. The map is a very good example how the European had a focus on the extreme North 

during the 18th century. Famous are the illustration panels on the right hand side, some of them based on J. Scheffer and his work from 1671. The 

text says: “The Laplanders being the most Remarkable People in Europe...“. According to N. G. Germundson’s list this is probably state 5 of the 

map, most of the differences are changes in the address panel lower left. A fully old coloured example in an unusually good condition.

SWEDEN probably the winter 1789 

UNIQUE MANUSCRIPT MAP OF THE NORWAY - SWEDEN BORDER AREA OF IDDEFJORDEN, SVINESUND AND THE ROUTE TO 

HALDEN. 

The large size and the special shape makes it to a very special piece. Perhaps executed in a connection with an official border commission. The 

Svinesund-Halden border area was the most important between Norway/Denmark and Sweden and several war actions took place here through the 

17th/18th century. This is of particular interest since it is a “winter map” and this is why the map is drawn in a “grisaille” style of colours. 

Some tears, mostly marginal. A small pice without geographical information torn off, otherwise in very good original condition.

“Tableau de tous les Pavillons que lon arbore sur les Vaisseaux Dans les Quatre Parties du Monde Ou se trouve le pavillon de France Décréte par

PARIS 1791 

A RARE PRINT OF THE SEA FLAGS OF ALL NATIONS, WITH ALL THE FLAGS IN ORIGINAL COLOUR. 

Also known as “The Mondhare Flag Sheet”. Shows pictures of all the flags that were used by the fleet all over the world including the French flag 

which was decreed by the Admirality, and the National Assembly on October 24, 1790. The print is of great historic interest because of its subject 

and the day it was published. The 24th of October 1790, the very first day in history that “le drapeau tricolor francais” (red, blue and white) was 

introduced. The National Assembly created a national flag which from now on replaced all the flags which had been blue and white of the merchant 

fleet and white of the war ships. It is the first time in history that a country has a flag which is used as a common national symbol by all the citizens. 

Historic battle scenes are shown on the top of the print. They show the French Navy at the time of the American War of Independence. We can see 

the construction of ships and the development of the French artillery in the 18th century which was in full expansion. The 12 frégates are good 

examples of an effort since 104 constructions were built between 1748 and 1798. The battle of 17th June 1778 with the famous ship “Belle-Poule” 

is shown in the panel upper right. This is for the first time in a naval battle which ended by a great victory for France and was the beginning of the 

engagement of France in the war of independence for the Americans. The pictures for the naval flags also prove the importance of sending signals 

by using flags at this time. The two lower ship illustrations have detailed key numbers to explain the wealth of detailes on them. In the middle a 

large, circular wind-card. 

The print is in very good condition and with fresh colours. The paper has a slight age tone.

A RARE ISSUE OF THE “SCHOLEUS VIEW”. 

The “Scholeus-Bergen” copper plate was engraved c. 1588 and had a long lifetime. After last issue in the “original state” from c. 1617, it was sold 

to Janssonius c.1653 and published in his “Illustriorum...Urbium tabulae” in 1657. The plate was partly re-engraved mainly as far as the clouds are 

concerned. The central cartouche and the ships were also altered and there is now a person hanging in the gallow! After Janssonius’ death in 1664, 

the plate went in the possession of his son-in-law, Johannes Waesberghe and his stock of plates were later sold in auction. Most of them (including 

Bergen) were bought by the map publisher in Amsterdam, Frederick de Wit. Bergen was re-issued c. 1694 with his imprint lower right. There 

is also a plate issue from c. 1729 by Van der Aa (see Kunstantikvariat PAMA’s catalogue 16 no. 252 and W.B. Ginsberg “Maps and Mapping of

First and only issue. Engraved by Grosch after Pauelsen’s death, see below. The exact date of printing is uncertain, but E.H. Schiøtz “Utlendingers 

reiser i Norge” volume II page 455 writes that the print was a gift to Kronprins Frederik in 1801. If so, it is after the T. Laan c. 1750 - 70 and J.W. 

Edy c. 1800. 

The Danish painter Erik Pauelsen visited Norway in 1788, his intention was to make a set of printed views based on his own paintings. The project 

was never fullfilled, in 1790 he committed suicide and only three prints were finnished. After his death, G. Haas and H.A. Grosch used 5 of his 

paintings or drawings for their aquatinted views. Among them this interesting and rare view of Oslo seen from Tøyen.

THE RARE VIEW OF HALDEN. 

First and only issue. This is unquestionable not only one of the most difficult prints to acquire among the 47 views in the “Lorentzen-set of views” 

(not less than 15 of the them are from Halden and the surrounding area!), but is also one of the most spectacular and beautiful. There do not excist 

later prints from this copper plate.

same Lorentzen painting, but there are two exceptions: Sarpsfossen and 

Hougsfossen.

“Christiania i Norge Prospect af Staden” 

Watercolour and pen, 35x49,5cm, without the title panel 

Probably painted in TRONDHEIM c. 1820 

A CLASSIC ORIGINAL VIEW OF CHRISTIANIA. 

In style and execution a typical work by Dalager who together with Dreier are Norway’s most well known “prospektmalere” around 1810 - 20. He 

was born in Greenland and moved to Trondheim in 1796 to work as an artist and craftsman. After a short period as a teacher in Trondheim he set up 

his own school for teaching in drawings and paintings, but unfortunatly with no greater success. Much better was the market for his painted town 

views. They are painted in the gouache technique and he has done several city views all over Norway. Some of them are perhaps the first known 

original views of the cities. 

Some general restorations. The text panel below the image had some damages and the text letters have been pasted on the mount by the restorer.

COPENHAGEN 1811 

A rare view of Fiskumfossen, River Namsen in Nord-Trøndelag. It 

is engraved by the Dane Andreas Flint (1767 - 1824) who also did 

“Throndhjem“ on behalf of Sigvald Schjødt in 1814. Both views were 

probably intended to be a part of a set “Voyage pittoresque” but was 

never completed. In a private collection there is a subscription list 

from 1814, Schødt tells here about how difficult it was to be an artists 

in Denmark and Norway during these years. Gunnerus was born in 


Denmark by Norwegian parents and got early a position at Fortress 

Vardøhus and became in 1812 the position as custom cashier in Halden. 

He lost this job because of economic embezzlement. For the intention to 

accompany the view Gunnerus also published a small book “Beskrivelse 

over Namsen Elv og Fiskum Foss i Norge” describing the impressive 

water cascade in Namsen and the surroundings. Bound in was also a 

subscription list for the print and listed were many famous names from 

wealthy families in Norway early 1800.

STOCKHOLM 1816 

A SPECTACULAR COMBINED EARLY MAP AND VIEW OF CHRISTIANIA. 

Engraved by Erik Åkerland (Sweden 1754 - 1835). There are two upper insets, to the left a detailed map of the fortress Akershus, the right one is 

a map “Gatorne i Christiania”. According to Hoem and Ginsberg the main map is based on a map by Niels Darre from early 1800, but properly 

updated. An example is “Toyen Botanisk Trägård” which was under construction from 1814 - 18. It was the most advanced printed map of 

Christiania by the time and has many interesting detailes. Hagelstam was born in Finland and became in 1810 a captain of the Sea-Charting Corps. 

he was given the task of delivering Norwegian maps and documents from Denmark to Sweden in 1814. This led to his interest in the cartography of 

Norway and Sweden. 

An excellent example of a rare print, printed on good, copperprint paper.

THE FAMOUS VIEW FROM KROGSKOGEN AND KROKKLEIVA TOWARDS RINGERIKE. 

Several foreign and Norwegian artists have painted or drawn sketches from the surroundings of Krokkleiva, this spectacular viewing point on the 

road from Christiania to Hallingdal and Valdres. W. Carpelan was born in Finland and worked as an officer, cartographer, painter and engraver 

and came in 1819 to Norway in royal service. His first two travels in Norway took place in June 1819 to Valdres and again through Valdres to 

Vestlandet in July 1819. In 1820 and 1823 he also visited Telemark. His friendship with Johannes Flintoe was of essential importance for his career 

as an artist. Based on his and Flintoe’s travels Carpelan published his large plate work in three parts with 27 aquatints in 1821 - 23. According to 

I.F. Danbolt the plates were engraved in Christiania before they were brought to Stockholm for the printing and publishing process of the complete 

plate work with the title “Voyage pittoresque aux Alpes norvégiennes”. A contributer to the work was Flintoe who supplied Carpelan with some of 

the sketches and did a few of the engravings as well. The added handcolour of the prints are supposed to have been executed by a Swedish artist 

“Verner” mentioned on the first title page (see Danbolt page 51). The view of “Krogkleven” was engraved by Carpelan, but is said to have been 

based on a picture by Carl Fredrik Vogt who came to Norway from Denmark c. 1810. It is the second view from the set. 

In a very fine condition.

A SPECTACULAR VIEW OF BERGEN PAINTED BY NORWAY’S MOST FAMOUS AND IMPORTANT “PROSPEKTMALER”. 

Dreier was born in Trondheim, but moved to Bergen c. 1800. His production of views of Bergen are important cultural and historical documents of 

the period. The standpoint of the view is unusual as it is seen from Sandviken. The picture contents an incredible wealth of detailes and information 

and the use of a magnifying glass is recommended in order to get the best impression. In the “Dreier-Exhibition” organized by Einar Lexow in 

Bergen in 1917, only one example (no. 21) had the similar view, however it was unsigned and of a smaller size. Lexow dates that example to 

1823-24. According to an estimate in Norsk kunstnerleksikon in 1982, only c. 170 original works by Dreier are known to still excist, many of them 

owned by public collections. 

In good condition with wide margins. Carefully cleaned.

From Prahl‘s important costume set “Norske National=Dragter”, the 

first plate work printed and published in Norway. Prahl was a captain, 

but set up the first lithographic workshop in Bergen c. 1827. Many 

Norwegian artists were commissioned in delivering drawings and 

sketches for the lithographic process. The set was published in parts and 

this print was drawn by Jacob Calmeyer (“1. Hefte - nr. 2“) and shows 

a cabin in Fana by Bergen. The costume views are important cultural 

documents. In “Från Fjon til Fusa” page 32: “Dette er et tidstypisk 

miljøbilde av stor kulturhistorisk verdi, det gjengir pålitelig et ekte, 

levende forhold”. Other lithographed prints published by Prahl are 

several Norwegian town views, maps and portraits.

There are known two different litographed town views of Bodø by Prahl. The print says that this view is based on a work by “A. Larsen”. This is 

according to Norsk kunstnerleksikon volume II Arne Larsen who was born at Fåberg. After studies in Copenhagen he travelled along the coast line 

from Bergen to Bodø between 1823 and 35 and tought people drawing and painting technique. He also executed several portraits of which some 

were painted in Bodø. The transfer of the drawing to the stone was made by Johan Ludvig Losting.

Lower margin narrow but hardly affecting the Norwegian letters below “Tromsö” in the middle. A fine copy in strong colours.

91. HANS CHRISTIAN ANDERSEN (1805 - 71) 

Egenhendig brev på tysk, 1 side, 4to, 27,2x21,5cm, signert og datert “Kopenhagen 25 Januar 1869”. 

Et meget fint og veldokumentert originalbrev av den store danske dikteren. Brevet er et anbealingsbrev for den kjente ballettdanseren Waldemar 

Price (1836 - 1908) som vil til Wien. I store deler av sitt liv skrev Andersen pertentlig dagbok og vi finner der følgende opplysninger om brevet 

vårt: “Søndag 24. (1869) Skrevet Anbefalings Brev for Waldemar Price der vil til Wien, og bragt det til Eduard Collin at det kunde komme i tydsk 

Stiil...”. Dagen etter den 25. når vårt brev er datert, står det i dagboken, tydeligvis skrevet på etterskudd: “Hvor underligt efter et Par Dage kan en 

heel Dag svinde hen i Glemsel, i Dag Torsdag har jeg intet klart om denne Dag den er gledet hen som en drøm. I Theatret var jeg ikke, Breve skrev 

jeg ikke, jeg veed kun et - Ikke”. Så den 26. står det: “Snneveir. Brev fra en ung Dame.........i Wien, hun ba om min Haandskrift og mit Portrætkort. 

Hos Collin sammen med Jette Boye og hendes Datter. Givet Waldemar Price Anbefalingsbrev til Vien...”.

92. BJØRNSTJERNE BJØRNSON (1832 - 1910) 

Egenhendig brev 2ss (skrevet på s. 1 og 3), 8vo, 22x14cm signert og datert Aulestad 30. mai 1878. 

Brever er til “Deres excellence” Otto Richard Kierulf (1825 - 97) som var statsminister 1871 - 72 og statsminister i Stockholm fra 1873 frem til 

Riksrettsaken i 1884. Brevet er et forsvarsskrift for komponisten Johan Selmer (1844 - 1910). Den radikale Selmer ble arrestert i Paris under sitt 

studieopphold der i 1869 til 71 og klarte å flykte under dramatiske omstendigheter. Da han så skal forsøke å oppføre et musikkstykke i Paris syv 

år etterpå får han problemer med myndighetene og det er dette den selvsikre Bjørnson ønsker å ta opp via diplomatiske kanaler med statsminister 

Kierulf. “Som forman i den komitte, der muligjór ???? i udlandet, tar jeg mig den frihed at bede D. excellence at tage Dem helt af denne sag, som 

det sÿnes mig måtte ligge innenfor vort udenlandske diplomatiske rækkevidde. Ærbódigst Bjørnstjerne Bjórnson Hr. Statsminister Kierulf”.

93. EDVARD GRIEG (1843- 1907) 

Egenhendig brev 2ss (skrevet på s. 1 og 3), 8vo, 19,2x12,9cm signert og datert (Christiania) 30/12/1872. 

Brevet er til Statsminister Otto Richard Kierulf (1825 - 97) ,“Deres Excellence”, som var Statsminister 1871-72 og Statsminister i Stockholm fra 

1873 frem til Riksrettsaken i 1884. 

Brevet er Griegs svar på Statsminister Kierulfs brev til Grieg datert Stockholm 27.12.1872 som befinner seg i Bergen Offentlige Bibliotek. Grieg 

har i et telegram til Statsminister Kierulf av 25. desember ytret et ønske om å holde noen konserter med komposisjoner i Stockholm og da i 

Hoffkapellet. Kierulf har oversendt denne forespørselen til Kongen og fått et positivt svar, men med forbehold om benyttelse av kapellet som kan 

være opptatt med “Repetioner”. Kierulf anbefaler Grieg om å komme til Stockholm for personlige samtaler med bl.a. kapellmesteren. Det synes 

komme frem i brevet vårt at Grieg er veldig takknemmelig for Kierulfs svar og vil reise til Stockholm allerede den 5. januar. En underdanig tone 

kan vi føle: “Efter de erholdte Bestrebelser nærer jeg ingen Tvivl om at kunne besegret de mange Vanskeligheder, som just en Komponist, der 

???hörer Masserne til at virke med, ???har at kæmpe imod...”. 

Iflg. Griegs konsertprogram som er opplyst på Bergen Offentlige Biblioteks hjemmeside, avholdt Nina og Edvard Grieg en konsert i Stora 

Börssalen den 12. januar 1873 og en i Kungliga Hofkapellet den 14.

UNIKT NOTE-MANUSKRIPT FRA EN VIKTIG HENDELSE I GRIEGS LIV 

94. EDVARD GRIEG OG JOHN GRIEG 

ORIGINALMANUSKRIPTET til sangen “Andante doloroso” som ble sunget i Alexander Griegs (deres far, 1806 - 75) begravelse den 18. 

september 1875. Over åtte trykte notelinjer, 8vo, 20,7x13,5cm, har Edvard Grieg egenhendig skrevet notene, mens hans eldste bror, visekonsul og 

bankbestyrer John Grieg, har skrevet sangteksten. Signert “Eg” øverst til høyre. John var også musikkinteressert og også utdannet cellist og han 

skrev bl.a. dikt til begravelsen til Nina og Edvards datter Alexandria som døde bare ett år gammel i 1869. Griegs foreldre døde med bare tre ukers 

mellomrom august/september 1875 og dette gikk sterkt inn på han og skal ha påvirket hans sinnstemning på varig sikt. “Ballade for piano i g-moll, 

opus 24” gir øyensynlig kraftig uttrykk for hans følelsesstemninger i denne perioden. Vårt unike notemanuskript, som etter våre undersøkelser 

ikke synes å ha vært kjent tidligere, var senere eiet av E. Griegs tremenning, Alexander Behrens Grieg (han skrev bl.a. i mai 1898 et meget 

personlig brev til Edvard Grieg (Bergen Offentlige Bibliotek)) og han har skrevet på baksiden av vårt notemanuskrift: “Til Alexander B. Grieg fra 

Componisten Edvard Grieg Noderne personlig nedskrevet af Edvard Grieg og komponeret til hans Faders Brittisk Consul og Kjöpmand Alexander 

Grieg’s Begravelse i Bergen den 18 Septbr 1875. Teksten skrevet af E.G’s Broder Konsul John Grieg. (Stemplet) Alexander B. Grieg Fjeldbakken 

Bergen”. 

Et Griegmanuskript av denne betydning er av største sjeldenhet!

98. HENRIK IBSEN 

Egenhendig brev på tysk, 1s, 8vo, 22x17,2cm, signert og datert “München, den 13. November 1888.”. Til Teaterdirektør og regisør Fritz Witte- 

Wild (1848 - 1930) i Berlin. Ibsen er av Witte-Wild invitert til “Volks=Theater” og oppsettningen av “Die Herrin von Oestrot”. Invitasjonen ønsker 

ikke Ibsen å benytte seg av, men sier derimot i brevet at han er meget overrasket “...auffallend und befremdend, dass Sie nicht diese rechtmässige 

deutsche Ausgabe benützt haben. Die andere ist mir vollständig unbekannt und geht mich in keiner Weise an. Hochachtungsvoll ergebenst Henrik 

Ibsen”. Ibsen skriver at det bare er E. Klingenfelds oversettelse av originalen fra 1876 på Ackermann som er autorisert av forfatteren.

ET AV NANSENS HOVEDVERK, ENESTÅENDE 

ASSOSIASJONSEKSEMPLAR MED DEDIKASJON OG BREV 

99. FRIDTJOF NANSEN (1861 - 1930) 

“Nord i Tåkeheimen Utforskningen av jordens nordlige strøk i tidlige tider” 

Komplett bok, 4to, 27x20,5cm. Originalt skinnryggbind med gullforgyllte ornamenter og tittel, med det originale smussomslaget og pappkassetten, 

topp gullsnitt og ellers ubeskåret (ryggen med bruksspor, omslaget revnet i foldene og lagt løst inn). Vedlagt rettet korrektur av sidene 261-264 

KRISTIANIA 1911 

FRIDTJOF NANSENS GAVEEKSEMPLAR TIL MOLTKE MOE MED DEDIKASJON OG FIRE INNLAGTE BREV. 

Nansens omfattende og betydningsfulle verk om de arktiske reisers og oppdagelsers historie frem til slutten av 1500-tallet. Med viktige beskrivelser 

om bl.a. sagaenes beretninger og om norrøne ferder til Vinland. Dette spesielle eksemplaret har på fremre forsatsblad en femten linjers meget 

personlig dedikasjon til Norges første professor i folkloristikk Motke Moe (1859 - 1913), sønn av Jørgen Moe. Moe var en stor inspirasjonskilde 

for Nansen og han bruker femten linjer i bokens forord til å takke Moe og beskrive Moes viktige bidrag til fullførelsen av verket. I den personlig 

håndskrevne dedikasjonen skriver Nansen: “Du gode ven gjennem de mange år, takke Dig som jeg gjerne vilde kan jeg ikke, og allikevel uten et ord 

kan jeg ikke la denne bok gå fra mig. Når jeg ser tilbake på den som et sluttet avsnit i livet, da er det jo Dig min tanke uvilkårlig söker. Uten Din 

opmuntrende interesse, aldrig svigtende, var den ialfald ikke blit hvad den er, selv uanset alt det Du direkte har gitt den...”. 

Vedlagt i boken er det ett brev til Moltke Moe fra 28.9. 1910 på halvannen side der vi får et innblikk i Moes betydning for Nansen og dette verket, 

skrevet ca. ett år før boken var ferdig. Nansen kommer i brevet innpå “Skrælingene i Vinland” og “huldrefolket eller andre vetter, eller alver...”. 

Etter Moes død i 1913 holder Nansen tydeligvis god kontakt med Moes døtre Marie og Alexandra og vedlagt følger tre lengre, meget interessante 

brev til disse to. I tillegg har Erik Werenskiold “lurt seg til” å vedlegge sitt visittkort “Hjertelig Tak” i ett av dem.

Portrettfotografi av Nansen sittende ved sin arbeidspult, montert på kartongen til fotografen Russel & Sons, fotografiet 19,4x14,4cm, hele kartongen

R. B. Goodden With hearty thanks for kind hospitality in Reval July 1920 from Fritdjof Nansen”. Nettopp i 1920 ble Nansen utnevnt til Norges 

representant i Folkeforbundet og ledet arbeidet med å sende hjem hundretusener av krigsfanger, mange i Russland. Goodden skal ha vært attache i 

Reval, Tallin i Estland og det er trolig at de to har møtt hverandre i forbindelse med Nansens arbeide her.

We are pleased to announce the availability of the recently released “Maps and Mapping of Norway, 1602—1855”. This is the first 

cartobibliography of the country, and it illustrates and discusses every map of Norway published during the selected time period. The 

book begins with the first printed map of Norway alone, a miniature map by Barent Langenes published by Cornelis Claesz in Leiden 

in 1602, and includes the blossoming of native Norwegian mapmaking during the first half of the nineteenth century. 

The author, William B. Ginsberg, has undertaken a significant amount of original research, during which he has discovered a number of 

new maps and variant states that are recorded for the first time. In addition to the formal cartobibliography, three essays—on county, 

route, and local maps—explore the richness of maps of Norway and suggest areas for further investigation. 

With 328 pages and more than 300 illustrations, Maps and Mapping of Norway is a treat for the eye as well as for the mind. This work, 

which is sure to become the standard reference in its field, is also available in a deluxe, slipcased limited edition. 

The present work succeeds and complements the author’s previous cartobibliography, Printed Maps of Scandinavia 

and the Arctic, 1482—1601. The earlier volume is also available at Kunstantikvariat PAMA.
