Beschreibung

First Edition. One of the copies specially bound for laureates, though without any ownership marking. Original blue cloth, all edges gilt. Bookplate on pastedown, else Near Fine. This is one of the annual volumes that includes the portraits, Nobel Lectures, etc. for the laureates of a given year. All varieties of the volumes are uncommon but especially these ones in the blue cloth. The winners in 1939 were: Physics, Ernest O. LAWRENCE; Physiology or Medicine, Gerhard DOMAGK; Chemistry, Adolf Friedrich Johann BUTENANDT & Leopold RUZICKA; Literature, Frans Eemil Sillanpää. Titles of the lectures (which are not delievered by all laureates; only certain Peace and Literature winners gave them) may be found on the Nobel Foundation Web site. Lawrence's lecture is not in this volume, only the announcement of his winning; he gave his lecture in 1951. While I have not seen anything in writing that proves that the blue copies were made specifically for laureates, I have seen several that did belong to them, and they surely were produced for some special purpose, so until I learn otherwise I will continue to suggest that is what the blue volumes are.
