Hans Christian Andersen (b. Odense 1805, d. Copenhagen 1875)

Nye Eventyr. Andet Bind, 2. Samling. Cph 1848. 8vo. With orig. front wrapper, detached. Inscribed by the author to J.J.A. Worsaae. The inscription goes: "Den kjære, fortræffelige Worsaa / fra hans /hengivne Ven Hans Christian Andersen (The dear, excellent Worsaa / from his / devoted friend Hans Christian Andersen).

It is remarkable that Hans Christian Andersen in this dedication writes his name in Latin letters – and writes his full name. Usually, he only did this with the Swedes, French and English (i.e. places outside the Danish-Germanic tradition). Worsaae was born in 1821 – and much younger than Hans Christian Andersen – but early on he established himself as a gifted and astute researcher of antiquity and archaeologist.
