PROVENANCE: Inscribed by Gretha Andrea Sverdrup<br />

[born Engelschiøn] [1865-1937], the widow of Otto<br />

Sverdrup [1854-1930], to her niece Sofie Vaaler. Otto<br />

Sverdrup was the godfather of Sofie Vaaler.<br />

”Til Sofie Vaaler til erindring om din gudfar, Hilsen tante<br />

Gretha. Sandvika, 27/1-1931.” (For Sofie Vaaler, in memory<br />

of your godfather, best wishes aunt Gretha).<br />

Otto Sverdrup died November 26, 1930, just about 2<br />

months before the inscription from his wife Gretha.<br />

Sverdrup aquired Villa Walle in Sandvika in 1908 and<br />

he lived there until his death in 1930. The set of ”Neues<br />

Land” is most likely to have resided in the library of Otto<br />

Sverdrup before it was passed on to his godchild Sofie.<br />

Together with Fridtjof Nansen and Roald Amundsen,<br />

Otto Sverdrup is considered one of the great Norwegian<br />

pioneers in the exploration of the Arctic and Antarctic.<br />
