ANDERSEN, HANS CHRISTIAN & GRANDFATHER DREWSEN:

CHRISTINE'S PICTURE BOOK.

Kirkegaards Antikvariat
kir58587
London: Kingfisher Books, 1984. Large oversized heavy book in the original decorated cloth in protected dustjacket (hardcover). 267 pages, color illustrated. Text in English. Some foxing to topedge and light wear to jacket (see photo). Overall a clean and very good attractive copy.

First edition thus. Christines Picture Book is a beautifully bound scrapbook of 122 leaves, originally dating from 1859 meant as gift and not for publication. On the right-hand pages and some of the left-hand ones, more than 1,000 pictures of widely varying kinds have been pasted in, most of them printed in colour or hand-coloured. In many instances, amusing little hand-written captions or verses have been added. It was compiled by Hans Christian Andersen and his friend, a Danish magistrate named Adolph Drewsen, who is named on the first sheet as being Christine's grandfather. The occasion was her third birthday, 30 October 1859. Christine was the great-grandchild of Jonas Collin, a civil servant who had been of great support to the young Hans Christian Andersen, and to whose family Andersen became closely attached. Its 122 pages contain over 1,000 pasted-in pictures plus a few paper cuts, an art form at which Andersen was adept. The images were collected from all kinds of European publications, and the result offers a unique pictorial snapshot of European culture of the 1850s.
