18950036961895. Hardcover. Very Good. Dated 1895 but probably starting then and running another year or two. 8vo. 20.5 by 17 cm. Unpaginated 100 pp. most of which have pencil sketches. The greatest number of pencil sketches are portraits of people done with the developing skill of a child. One can see real progress through the album. While never achieving complete fidelity to a likeness the trend is easily in that direction. There is also an abundance of animal portraits and these predictably come much closer to a realistic representation. Most charming though are an anthropomorphic cartoon of frogs and two opulently decorated interiors which also feature human figures. The young artist was of Norwegian origin and thus the title and there are a few captions rendered in Swedish. Moderate wear. <br/><br/> hardcover books

003695Hardcover. Very Good. N.d. circa 1890s. 4to. 26 by 21 cm. Unpaginated 20 pp. A few pages have been cut out. The background illustrations sets most of these pages apart from a typical chromolithographic die-cut album. The settings include garden and meadow a castle a seascape a lake. The cut-outs are of Tyrolean dancers dogs Lord Fauntleroy-like children soldiers courtiers flowers and bouquets ships and boats etc. Achieved by all this is collage that is not merely random but has a real cohesion. The cover is a classic Aesthetic Movement album cover with gilt a play of diagonals and rococo ornament and a chromolithographic centerpiece. The paper is acidic and thus a bit brittle -- relatively though less than many such albums. Attribution is based on a pencil inscription on the FEP. A little crinkling and minor closed tears as well as general wear. <br/><br/> hardcover books
