Mentioned in Peter Gradman's Danish book , “Sceniske Kunstnere jeg kendte og saa” (Artists that I knew and saw), Copenhagen 1943, p. 39: “in his tie a sparkling pin, on his little finger a blazingly brilliant - probably Royal gifts [...].”
Provenance: The Danish opera singer Niels Juel Simonsen (1846–1906).
