Kjöbenhavn (Copenhagen), 1831. Bound in a very nice, elegant brown half calf binding with gilt spine (Kyster). Upper edge gilt. Partly uncut and printed on good paper. Ex-libris pasted on to verso of front board. A very nice copy.

Exceedingly scarce first edition of Andersen's second theatre-performed piece. The work is extremely rare and almost never turns up in the trade. Apart from his debut book, "Ungdoms-Forsøg"/"Palnatokes Grav", this is presumably the scarcest Andersen-title. Hans Christian Andersen inaugurated his dramatical production with "Kjærlighed paa Nicolai Taarn" in 1829, a genre that came to mean a lot to him, and for which he continued producing plays for forty years, amounting to about as many plays. The question as to acceptance from the theatre and the the set-up of the plays, however, -especially at the beginning of his career - would often postpone the actual theatre debut by many months, sometimes years. And thus, although Andersen had translated/ re-written two other plays for the stage, before he re-wrote "Skibet" ("The Ship"), after Scribe and Mazere's "La Quarantaine", "Skibet" came to be the very first re-worked play by Andersen that was performed at the theatre and only the second play at all, following his own "Kjærlighed paa Nicolai Taarn". Together with "Kjærlighed paa Nicolai Taarn", "Skibet" constitutes his dramatical/theatre-debut and was of immense importance to him. After "Skibet", he continued to re-write foreign pieces for the stage and gained more and more success in this endeavour. BFN 166.

København, I. H. Schubothe, 1891. 8vo. I et samtidigt halvlæderbind med forfatterens egenhændige dedikation på titelblad: "Den, som forstaar at spotte sig selv, burde slaa Spottens Vaaben af de andres Hænder / 11.7.1905 / Herman Bang.". Forreste fals gået op, indvendig ren og pæn. XVIII,(2),275,(1) pp. Dedikationseksemplar af Bangs "Ti Aar", hans reflektioner over hans første ti år som forfatter. "Bang tilbragte sommermånederne 1905 på Marienlyst ved Helsingør. Det er nærliggende at tro, at han har skænket denne bog med inskription til den velgørenhedsbazar, som en kreds af damer afholdt dér den 11.7.1905, bistået af Herman Bang. Bogen har formodentlig været en af gevinsterne i et lotteri denne dag. Overskuddet skulle ifølge en samtidig omtale i Helsingør Dagblad deles mellem ”Børnenes Kontor” i København og menighedsplejen i Helsingør." (Posselt, nr. 62).
