consist of Norwegian, German and English text in parallel columns. There 
are, as well, 6 Pp. of music at the end starting with works of the 
celebrated Norwegian violinist Ole Bull and continuing with Norwegian folk 
songs: Music: p. 1-6. There was one prior Norwegian costume book by Joachim 
Frich, issued in 1847. However, this contained only 10 costume plates. It 
is also more available, having been issued in facsimile in 1958. In our 
book, the first plates 1-4 and 6 are taken from Frich's book which 
was  printed in Berlin. The remaining plates were drawn for this 
publication by Eckersberg. They include plates of Lapps and of Finns. The 
complex, decorative title page includes 5 symbols and devices of the 
Norwegian monarchy. The text pages are often foxed, but not unpleasantly. 
The plates, which all have plate guards, are untouched by the foxing, 
except occasionally in the margins, only.  Checking RLin and other sources 
we have come up with 3  American locations. Colas 2893, Lipperheide 1059,
