Published 1939-44, Copenhagen by Gyldendalske Boghandel.6 issues, each c. 100 pages. Text in Danish. Profusely illustrated throughout, including at least 20 color lithographed plates per issue, many more b& w art drawings by a wide range of cartoon artists. Abundant period advertising, often illustrated. A visual feast of cartoon type satirical art addressing all aspects of modern public life, aimed at adults. Fascinating glimpse into a European country society bordering Germany during the lead-up and throughout the events of most of World War Two. It is not necessary to read Danish to appreciate the vast range of attractive and often wonderful color lithographed cartoon style images within them. Many seem almost frameable as images, very nice and for most people little known colorful cartoon art magazines being published in Europe at the dawn of American comic books. A European pre-cursor and possible influencer of American publishing around this time for the genre. Oblong color lithographed pictorial cartoon art paper wrappers, each cover involving an artistic play on the Danish meaning of the word for octopus. Magazines are physically old and shows mostly light signs of handling and time. Item is not new or in "new" condition. Bindings gently and lightly age worn, mostly clean and fresh. Text block paper is toned but clean, internally well preserved, almost no staining or soiling, minor corner bumping, any flaws of a minor type unworthy of specific mention. Still attractive on the shelf. Each magazine displays a pleasing and unique age patina and is in nice antiquarian condition, any age flaws easy to overlook or forgive.
