Fairy Tales by Hans Christain Andersen, Translated by Reginald Spink and illustrated by W. Heath Robinson. Hans Christian Andersen (1805-1875) was a Danish author. Although a prolific writer of plays, travelogues, novels, and poems, he is best remembered for his literary fairy tales. Andersen's fairy tales, consisting of 156 stories across nine volumes, have been translated into more than 125 languages. Originally published in 1835, this 1965 edition was published in the hometown of Hans Christian Andersen, Odense, Denmark. This piece is bound in a red hardcover with beautiful silver etchings throughout the outside cover. A dustcover is present as well, and it comes with a protective box that displays the spine, which matches the aesthetic of the book itself. The book is in excellent condition with minimal signs of use and handling. Some damage to the dust cover and box cover. Measuring H 6 W 4 D inches inside the protective box. Third Printing of Love Poems Old and New, a poetry collection selected by Catharine Connell and published by Random House New York, 1943. This is a Random House Wartime Book. It is manufactured under emergency conditions and complies with the government's request to conserve essential materials in every possible way. This hardcover print is etched on the cover with some loss to the silver coloring that was once present. The spine is intact with some wearing and discoloration to the top and bottom. All pages appear to be present with no additional markings or folds. The original owner's ex-libris sticker is present on the inside front cover. Overall decent condition with no odor detected.

This hardcover piece is bound in half-blue morocco and marbled boards with the front cover and spines stamped in gilt. The spine is intact with some signs of wear and loss of color to the stamps. The corners of the cover are slightly bent inwards with loss to them. The pages' edges show signs of use, but all appear to be present and without rips, tears, or folds. No odor was detected. Measures H 7 W 4.5 D 1 inch. The Poems of John Donne. Selected, introduced, and annotated by Frank Kermode. Wood engravings by Imre Reiner. This piece was published by The Heritage Press, New York, in 1970.

Under Royal Patronage, he was made Dean of St Paul's Cathedral in London. He is considered the preeminent representative of the metaphysical poets. This piece is equipped with a stunningly decorated hardcover and guild-decorated spine. Its pages are in excellent condition with all pages present and intact. Slight loss to the outer cover near the top of the book, but otherwise in excellent condition with no odor detected. The protective box covering shows signs of movement, discoloration, and loss to the board. It measures H 10.75 W 6.5 D 1.25 inches inside the protective box.

ANDERSEN HANS CHRISTIAN: (1805-1875)
Est: €6,000 - €8,000
ANDERSEN HANS CHRISTIAN: (1805-1875) Danish author, best remembered for his literary fairy tales. A fine pair of autograph fair copy manuscript verses signed ('H. C. Andersen') by Andersen, one page, large oblong 4to (approximately 13 x 10.5'', 32.5 x 26 cm), Paris, 26th April 1943, in Danish and French. To the left side of the page Andersen has penned his verse Soldaten ('The Soldier') in Danish, the four-verse work of four lines each, part of a song cycle, commencing 'Med daempede Hvirvler Trommerne gaae/ Ak, skal vi da aldrig til Stedet naae/ At hank an faae Ro i sin Kiste!/ Jeg troer mit Hjerte vil briste' (Translation: 'Our steps keep time with the muffled drum/ How slow it seems, and how long the march/ O, that he was at peace and everything done/ My heart is pounding'). To the right side of the page the author has penned a French translation of his verse, headed Le Soldat ecrite d'Andersen. Signed and dated by Andersen at the foot of the page. Manuscript verses by Andersen are extremely rare and highly sought after, and the present example is particularly charming. Some light staining and a few small, minor tears to the edges and with a vertical fold to the centre with neat splitting to the upper and lower edges and the whole reinforced with a thin strip of light tape to the verso. G Hans Christian Andersen visited Paris on eight occasions during his lifetime and it was his second visit in 1843 (during which time he penned the present verses) that was perhaps the most important to him personally as he purposefully made it his ambition to meet French writers and artists, and thus succeeded in being accepted into the Parisian literary community. It is more than likely that the present verses were written at the request of one such member of the literary circles in Paris; we know that Andersen penned two similar verses on the same day, 26th April 1943, in the album amicorum of the poet and Romanticist Alfred de Vigny (1797-1863) and his wife Lydia.

Andersen, Hans Christian. Die Prinzessin und der Schweinehirt. Typographischer Titel, chromolithographischer Titel und 13 chromolithographische Tafeln mit Illustrationen von Heinrich Lefler. 39,5 x 29,5 cm. Lose Blatt in privater Halbleinen-Mappe mit montierter OVorderdeckel-Illustration. Wien, Gesellschaft für vervielfältigende Kunst, 1897. -- Bilderwelt 463. Stuck-Villa II, 244. Ries, Wilhelminische Zeit, S. 676,6, S. 158 – Erste Auflage, hier in einem Exemplar der seltenen Mappenausgabe mit den losen Tafeln: "Eine der frühesten buchkünstlerischen Arbeiten der Jugend-Stilbewegung um 1900. In zart getönten Aquarellen wird der ironische Ton des Märchens getroffen. Lefler ist hier ganz und gar Wiener, leicht und lustig" (H. Ries in LKJ II, 330). "Auf den 14 losen Bogen ist der Text vom Künstler mit in die Bilder eingeschrieben worden. So sehr hier schon Figuren und Landschafts-Details dekorativ stilisiert sind, so bemerkt man doch im ganzen, wie der Zeichner versucht, von der Tradition exakter zeichnerischer Schilderung loszukommen. Auch dieses, damals gewiß teure Mappenwerk kann nur einen begrenzten Kreis von Liebhabern erreicht haben" (Doderer-Müller, S. 269). "Die ästhetische Position dieser frühen Veröffentlichung Heinrich Leflers ist schon von den Zeitgenossen erkannt und positiv bewertet worden: 'Herr Lefler ist der Erste, der mit der altmodischen Kaulbachhaft durchdrungenen oder Thumannisch gesäuselten Manier, Märchen zu illustrieren, gebrochen hat'" (Heller, Wien 7). "Entscheidend für die Bedeutung des Jugendstilsbuches im Sinne des Gesamtkunstwerkes ist hier der Verzicht auf die klassische Typographie zugunsten eines neuen Schriftbildes. Das Werk ist sowohl als Mappenwerk wie als gebundener Band aufgelegt worden" (Hoffmann/Thiele, Künstler illustrieren Bilderbücher 135). – Einige Blatt etwas gebräunt, nur vereinzelte minimale Flecken. Insgesamt sehr schön und wohlerhalten.

Engraved illustrated title page, engraved tailpieces, 16 full-page black & white engravings, and 12 color plates by Kay Nielsen. Publisher's deluxe binding of full vellum, upper cover with gilt-embossed vignette (replicating the title page), flat spine with gilt tree at foot and gilt titling at head, top edge gilt. Front free endpaper with remnants of bookplate, slight splaying to boards, gilt on spine slightly faded. LIMITED DELUXE EDITION, number 111 of 500 copies signed by the artist. This edition of fairy tales by Hans Christian Andersen is illustrated by his fellow Dane, Kay Nielsen, whose popularity during the early 20th century 'golden age of illustration' rivaled that of Arthur Rackham and Edmund Dulac. Born in Copenhagen to a theatrical family, Nielsen studied art in Paris, where he became quite interested in Japanese and Chinese paintings. The influence of those styles can be seen in the color plates here, while the monochrome works are reminiscent of illustrations by Aubrey Beardsley. When the popularity of extravagantly illustrated gift books began to fade in the 1930s, Nielsen moved to California, where he worked for Disney Studios, contributing illustrations for 'Fantasia' and other animated films.

ANDERSEN HANS CHRISTIAN: (1805-1875)
Est: €6,000 - €9,000
ANDERSEN HANS CHRISTIAN: (1805-1875) Danish Author & Poet. Very rare autograph poem, signed `Souvenir de H. C. Andersen´, two pages, 4to, Paris, 26th April 1843, in French and in Danish. Andersen has cleanly written the poem `Le Soldat´ (''The Soldier''), to the left page in Danish, and to the right page in French. The poem corresponds to Andersen´s youth work `Soldaten´ (1830), in Danish. The poem in French contains the sixteen verses, in a French alexandrine form, twelve syllable verses, being Andersen´s version in French, different to the usual published translation of the poem. A very interesting translation by his author, being a poignant poem referring to the execution by squad of a soldier, whose friend is one of the squad members. Stating in part `Que ces tambours voiles résonnent tristement! - Que cette borne est loin! Que cette marche est lente! - Il me semble que mon coeur se brise lentement. - Ah! Quelle heure cruelle et quelle horrible attente! - Dans ce monde desert je n´aimais que lui seul - Lui seul que maintennant l´affreuse mort désigne….Neuf fusils ont vomi leur foudre destructeur(sic) - Huit balles ont sifflé plus loin que la victim - huit mains auront tremble craignant peut-être un crime…´ Signed by Andersend at the base, over the two pages displayed. A very rare and attractive double poem by Andersen. Very slightly uneven left edge, with extremely small tear to the upper edge. Centre fold reinforced to the verso. G to VG

"Andersen" (Porträt Hans Christian Andersen) Aquarell auf festem Aquarellpapier. 1996. 118,5 x 80 cm. Im unteren Rand rechts mit Kreide in Schwarz signiert "Fetting" und datiert sowie mittig betitelt. Der dänische Dichter und Schriftsteller Hans Christian Andersen (1805-1875) galt als ein eitler Mann, weshalb ihn Fetting in unserem Aquarell gezielt in Pose setzt, das Haar dandyhaft zurückgekämmt, den Blick über die rechte Schulter werfend und mit manieriert ausgestellter Geste die Schreibfeder in seiner rechten Hand haltend. Fetting, der zu den Mitbegründern der Galerie am Moritzplatz zählt, widmet sich vor allem zu Beginn seines Schaffens neben Berliner Stadtszenarien und Figurationen auch Porträts. In expressiven Formen und knalligen Farben feiert er das Bildnis dieses großen Schriftstellers des 19. Jahrhunderts. - Provenienz: Galerie Christian Dam, Kopenhagen Privatbesitz Dänemark - Wir bitten darum, Zustandsberichte zu den Losen zu erfragen, da der Erhaltungszustand nur in Ausnahmefällen im Katalog angegeben ist. - Please ask for condition reports for individual lots, as the condition is usually not mentioned in the catalogue.
