FIRST EDITION, tiny mark at foot of page 5, pp. [iv], 236, foolscap 8vo, original red cloth, stamped in black and gilt to upper board and backstrip, the latter very gently faded with a slight lean, lower board with blind-stamped border and publisher device, a hint of rubbing to extremities, a.e.g., patterned endpapers, very good. Issued simultaneously in various colours of cloth - this a very attractive copy of the desirable red version. A hugely important work, selected by Carter & Muir for inclusion in 'Printing and the Mind of Man' - though with the qualification that 'it is virtually impossible to select any one play'. The text in Danish, and the edition preceded by one of 12 copies printed in London in Norwegian for the purposes of copyright. (Printing and the Mind of Man 375). Seller Inventory # 58408
