[Nils Christian Tonsberg.] Norske Nationaldragter, tegnede af forskjellige norske Kunstnere, og ledsagede med oplysende Text. Udgivne af C. Tönsberg. Christiana, [n.d.]
15 very fine chromolithogrpahic plates. Each illustration with a sheet of accompanying text. 38x25 cm.
Ex-libris; rebound in cloth. Each plate has a small circular ownership stamp on lower left.
This seems to be the second book published on costumes and dress of the Norwegians and Lapps (the other published in 1847). There is no date on the chromolithographic title page of this work; OCLC/WorldCat calls for an edition of 33 plates in 1852. According to the table of contents, this edition is complete with 15 plates. From what I can see the plate numbers in this work and the 1852 edition are different; also, the present edition seems to be larger--or taller--than are the descriptions for the 1852 edition (15.5 vs 13 inches tall).
Overall, a good, sturdy copy. $SOLD
