About this Item

Gærdecken, Copenhagen. Rear cover somewhat broken, corners worn and bumped. Foxing and dampstaining throughout. Minor tear to inner margin on the map. MS dedication to "Hr. justitieraad H. Collin", signatures, old blindstamp. Fiske Icelandic collection p. 516. The eruption of the Icelandic volcano Hekla lasted until the beginning of April 1846 and the ashes reached the Faroe, Shetland and Orkney Islands. Edvard Collin (1808-86) was the son of H. C. Andersen's benefactor Jonas Collin and one of the author's close friends. The friendship between the two was characterized by a cool detachment from Edvard Collin's side, a circumstance which sometimes got on Andersen's nerves, but did not prevent him from making Collin his sole heir and literary executor. Andersen also lies buried with Collin and his wife. Seller Inventory # 49231A
