Johs. V. Jensen (b. Farsø, Himmerland 1873, d. København 1950)

Johannes V. Jensen: Kongens Fald in 3 parts: Forårets Død. Cph 1899. + Den store Sommer. Cph 1900. + Vinteren. Cph 1901. All 8vo's, all 1st editions. Bound with the rare orig. wrappers illustrated by Gudmund Hentze in fine full morocco. Housed in fine box (Helle Stisen).

A good copy of the original edition of Johs. V. Jensen's (1873–1950) chief work. Only 1250 copies were issued. Copies with original wrappers designed by Gudmund Hentze are rare, because the publisher (Gyldendal) after the publication rejected Hentze's wrappers and rebound the rest of the issues with new wrappers.
