4 uniforme grå udklipsbøger med tegneseriestriber indsat i kronologisk orden. Udklip fra Verden og vi, København 1913-1916. Tegneserie i s/h. 45 + 44 + 47 + 42 striber, hver dateret med blyant. I fin stand. * Dansk tegneseriekunsts fødsel. Med De tre Smaa Mænd introducerede Storm P. reelt tegneserien i Danmark. Serien viser Storm P.'s evner for visuelle gags, skæve ideer og stramme blik for hvad det grafiske udtryk skal være i hver enkelt tegning. De tre smaa Mænd kom først, og i mangel af en, der kunne vise hvor langt i historien man var kommet, opfandt Storm P. Nummermanden, der for hvert billede skiftede nummer og på den måde blev fast medlem af gruppen. Samlingen her begynder med serien Kan de det?, hvor De tre smaa Mænd optræder som bifigurer. Udklippene stammer hovedsagelig fra bladet Verden og Vi.

Thieles Bogtrykkeri, København 1833. Lille folio. 14 sider + 1 blankt blad + IV foldede raderede tavler med perspektiv-eksempler. Senere jævnt halvlærredsbind med rester af håndskrevet titelfelt. Bindet temmelig slidt. Lidt gulnet i kanterne. * Meget sjælden. ** Eckersberg lagde megen vægt på at lære sine elever ved Kunstakademiet perspektivets elementære principper. Med denne korte afhandling indskrev Eckersberg sig i en lang tradition, skabt af fremtrædende kunstnere, der hver især har fremlagt deres kunstsyn i teoretiske skrifter. (..) Eckersbergs ærinde er først og fremmest at opstille lovmæssigheder for billedkonstruktion, men som den eneste gang i sit liv benytter han også lejligheden til at gøre rede for sit kunstsyn skriftligt (P.M. Hornung & Kasper Monrad: Eckersberg (2005), p. 370. At Eckersberg havde held med sin pædagogik kan bl.a. ses hos eleven Christen Købke, hvis hele komposition i det berømte billede Parti af Østerbro i Morgenbelysning (1836) er hentet direkte fra planche IV i Eckersbergs værk. *** Eckersberg har formentlig selv raderet bogens illustrationer. **** Very scarce work on perspective by one of the greatest Danish artists of the Golden Age of the 19th century. The plates were most likely engraved and printed by Eckersberg himself.

Regensen, København 1923. Førsteudgave. 8°. 55 sider. Heftet med orig. omslag. Navn øverst på foromslaget. Lille udbedret rift i foromslagets forkant. Omslaget lidt krøllet. I glaslomme. Vedlagt: Regensviser. Foldet ark. reberholts Bogtrykkeri, København [c. 1923]. Med bidrag, Kongevise, signeret K.M. + Spredte Indtryk fra mit Klokkerat. In: Regensen. Regensianersamfundets Medlemsblad Marts 1923. * Blædel 1. Marcussen 1 (for Rub og Stub), De to vedlagte tryk er ikke omtalt af Munks bibliografer Blædel og Marcussen. Kaj Munk satte det glade guldalder-studentikose liv på Regensen meget højt. ** Rub og Stub er hans meget sjældne debut i bogform, skrevet da han som 24-årig beklædte det ærefulde embede som »klokker« (højeste embedsmand) ved Regensen. Bogen af den dengang helt ukendte Munk kom aldrig i boghandelen, men forhandledes internt på kollegiet. Ifølge Munks bibliograf Ove Marcussen bidrog bogtrykkeren i vinteren 1939 til bogens sjældenhed ved at fyre op med restoplaget, ca. 20-30 eksemplarer. ** Indholdet omfatter bl.a. lystspillet »S'mænd et Offer«, hvor Munk havde castet sig selv i rollen som stud. med. Kunow. Ligesom Revyen »Een Thranum gør ingen Sommer« er teksten stærkt præget af indforstået regensianerhumor.

Samlingsbind med træskåret fællestitelblad: Kong Waldemars II. Low Udgivet af Jørgen Holst, trykt af Peter Hake, København 1642-44. 4°. Med kobberstukket titelblad til Jyske Lov (med gengivelse af Christian IV præsiderende ved en Herredag på Københavns Slot, stukket af Albert Haelwegh efter Karel van Mander), kobberstukket titelblad til Christian IV's Reces samt kobberstukket portræt af Christian IV (til Recessen). Kobberstukne eller træskårne deltitelblade. Helbind fra det 20. århundrede af brunt kalveskind med guldtrykt rygtitel og guldtrykt titel på forpermen i 1600-tals fraktur. Rygtitel: Jüdske Lowbog. Enkelte randnoter i 1600-tals hånd i Recessen. * Attraktivt eksemplar af Jørgen Holsts udgave af det samlede retsgyldige danske lovkompleks fra Christian IVs sidste år. Udgaven blev aktualiseret med udsendelsen af Christian IVs store Reces fra 1643, som indgår i bogen. Værket omfatter foruden Valdemar Sejrs Jyske Lov Christian IIIs Reces, Frederik IIs Håndfæstning, Frederik IIs Reces, Frederik IIs Gårdsret, Frederik IIs Søret, Frederik IIs 25 religiøse artikler, Frederik IIs åbne breve, Christian IVs Reces, Christian IVs Birkeret, Christian IVs åbne brev samt et samlet register til hele komplekset. Som brugsbog blev denne samling forældet ved udsendelsen af Christian Vs Danske Lov i 1683. Til gengæld støtter hele tilrettelæggelsen og udstyrelsen af Jyske Lov antagelsen om, at loven skal opfattes som en rigslov og ikke blot en landskabslov.

Kobberstukket prospekt af Odense. Köln c. 1588. Lysmål: 32 x 47 cm. Arkmål: 40 x 52 cm. Med meget smuk samtidig kolorering. Lille hul i motivet øverst midtfor. I øvrigt et velbevaret blad.(Grafik/Prints). (Landkort/Maps). * Detaljeret prospekt af Odense, som den fynske bispeby tog sig ud i anden halvdel af 1500-tallet. Billedet myldrer med skarpt sete detaljer og er en hovedkilde til Odenses ældre topografi. I nederste del af prospektet ses, at den nu aldeles udslettede ringborg fra vikingetiden på Nonnebakken var intakt på dette tidspunkt, selv om ingen mere anede hvad ringvolden var. Billedet giver også god besked om Sankt Albani Kirke, der lå vis-a-vis Sankt Knuds og jo lå på stedet, hvor Knud den Hellige blev myrdet i 1086.

Für Augen gestellet, in einer ausführlichen Beschreibung des gantzen levitischen Priesterthums. Und fünff unterschiedenen Büchern: Es handelt deren I. Von der Stiffts-Hütten ; II. Von dem Tempel; III. Von den Hohen- und andern Priestern; IV. Von den Leviten; V. Von dem täglichen Gottesdienst der alten Hebräer. Samt einem Vorbericht Henici Muhlii. Verlegts Gottfried Liebernickel, Hamburg 1701. Folio. (38)+1090+(136) pages. Illustrated with 20 full page engravings, 4 folded, doublepage engravings [one opposite p. 216 with a large tear missing appr. half a leaf) and 14 smaller engravings, placed between the text leaves. Also engravings in the text. The frontespiece portrait of Lund is missing, and the plate opposite this [in front of the titleleaf] is loose and with some tearing along the edges, also inside the print. Bound in a contemporary full vellum binding with handwritten title to the spine. One text leaf with a large closed tear. Generallt a bit of creasing and wear to the edges of the various plates. Last flyleaf torn. Old stamp to the titleleaf [Prof. Lejeune, Kôln]. * Danish-German clergyman Johan Lund [1638-1686] used most of his life to gather information about Jewish religion thorugh the ages, but died before he himself could publish the work. It was posthumously released in 1695-96, but was a massive success due to the immense amount of knowledge in it, and was reprinted six times during the next 40 years. Lund was also very good at drawing and has made the sketches for the numerous plates himself.** Interesting provenance: The copy has belonged to top nazi doctor and professor Fritz Lejeune [1892-1966], who had been a member of the German nazi Party from 1923. His knowledge about book collecting made him a top man in the Nazi theft of book collections and the so-called Aryanization and liquadation of antique dealers in the Third Reich in 1938/39. He was arrested in Wien in 1945, but was unable to return to a university career after the war.

Light foxing, creasing and folds to maps. A couple of pages with discolouration, most likely from old water stain. Otherwise only the occasional small, closed tear and three small nicks (page 177/vol. I & 217-220/vol. II). * In our time undoubtedly most widely known for disappearing with two ships and crew during what became 'Franklins Lost Expedition' (starting out in 1845 as The Northwest Passage Expedition) in search of The Northwest Passage between the Bering Strait and the Atlantic, Sir John Franklin (1786-1847) had a long career at sea behind him starting as a young boy. The merchant fleet took him to sea at the age of 12, but it became the Navy he dedicated his life to. During the early years he saw one battle followed by another: Copenhagen (1801), The South China Sea (1804), Trafalgar (1805) and so on. In 1818 Franklin partook in an expedition to Svalbard (Spitzbergen) as commander of one of the ships and the following years he led the Coppermine expedition, one of several mapping expeditions sent out by The Royal Navy in an attempt at discovering The Northwest Passage and thereby the shortcut route to the lucrative markets of Asia. The expedition started out from the Coppermine River and worked it's way east along the polar sea. The men were challenged not only by the hardships a northern climate has to offer, but also by shortage of food, bad planning, murder, possible cannibalism and a less welcoming attitude from the local helpers and ended up not fulfilling it's objective. Only half the crew made it back alive after famously eating lichen - and perhaps even their own shoes if we shall believe Franklin's nickname 'The man who ate his boots' - to survive. Franklin went on to command the Mackenzie River expedition in 1825, being governor of van Diemen's Land (present day Tasmania) for six years and lastly being appointed leader of the Northwest Passage Expedition.
