Peder Gunvald [or Gunvold] Hermansen [1910-1993], commonly known as Advokat [Attorney] Hermansen was a well-known Oslo eccentric. He acted as a sort of modern court jester, walking around in colorful costumes, playing the harmonica and making random provocative comments to passers by. An unattributed typed translation of the Norwegian text is laid in, including the extensive captions but not the introduction.
