Lykke-Per by Henrik Pontoppidan - 1898 Danish First Edition

Description: Lykke-Per: Finder Skatten by Henrik Pontoppidan. Det Nordiske Forlag, 1898. Stated Circulation 2500. Hardcover without dust jacket. 137 pages. Assumed First Edition. This is the original Danish version of Lykke-Per (Lucy Per) written in 1898 by Henrik Pontoppidan and published in Copenhagen. I have researched this book and the author and I cannot find definitive proof that its the true first edition because there is absolutely nothing else like it anywhere on the web, therefore it's assumed, but with good reasons: No volume information. Online sources indicate it was written between 1898 and 1904 in eight volumes and indeed a much different eight volume set can be found for sale elsewhere on the Internet. This book has no volume information, consistent with a first edition published before the others had been written. Also, the circulation figure of 2500 lends itself to a limited press run, often associated with first editions before they achieve mass acceptance and numerous reprints. The facts I have: 1898 copyright date, the earliest cited, and it's one of 2500 printed according to "Oplag: 2500 Ekspl." Please feel free to share additional information with me about the accuracy of this listing. Shipping: Insurance will be purchased at no extra cost as well as signature confirmation required for your safety and mine. What a book!
