Beschreibung

Stockholm, Hörbergska boktryckeriet, 1864-65. 8:o. 587 + 564 pp. & 16 woodcut plates. Two volumes in late 19th-century half calf bindings, somewhat worn, with gilt-ruled spines and red labels. Marbled edges. Spines somewhat faded and blotchy and with dampstain at top. Inserts insignificantly browned and with occasional spotting. Small discoloration in the text on pp. 163-68 in volume I, title leaf in volume II partly creased. Later signature of Barbro Wulf and bookplate of Magnus Lindquist.Published by Albert Bonniers förlag and - according to Linnström in "Svenskt boklexikon" - a part of the publisher's series "Europeiska följetongen". Dicken's "Our Mutual Friend" was first published in 1864, which shows that the Swedish translations followed closely in the steps of the original editions at this time. The translator Gustaf Thomée (1812-67) was an industrious writer of works on geography and topography, and his large "Historiskt-geografiskt och statistiskt lexikon öfver Sverige" from 1859-70 is still a very useful reference work. In addition to this, Thomée was also very active as a translator. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 42968B
