[Drawn by Carl Fredrik Diriks.]
1868.
Oblong 8vo, with wrappers but loose; 41 (of 48?) wood-engraved sketches of which 4 are duplicates with different printed titles. Most of these have English translations either front or reverse of print in pencil. Some spotting. English translations in ms (printed text in Norse).
Carl Fredrik Diriks (1814-95), a Norwegian naval officer and director of Lighthouse Authority from 1855-82, published simple pencil drawings and watercolours of everyday life on the Norwegian coast. In 1865 the first edition of 'Sketches from Travels in Norway', containing only six sketches, was published anonymously. Such was the success of the book that ever-enlarged editions were published until 1882 and reissues after Diriks' death in 1895.
