Description: Norwalk, CT, The Heritage Press, 1985. Hardcover. Translation by Willliam and Charles Archer. Illustrations by Per Krohg. Small 4to. Dark blue cloth with yellow lettering and pale blue paper over boards with blue/yellow pictorial stamping, paper-covered slipcase. xvii, 315pp, xix-xxiv. Numerous illustrations (some color). Fine/fine. Unusually pristine, tight copy of this reprint of the 1957 trade edition of the Limited Editions Club edition -- but with choice, relevant autograph additions from two thespians who each appeared in significant productions of this play, each signing fine, matching, heavy stock 5" X 3" cards. Top to bottom: SYBIL THORNDIKE (1881-1976) boldly signs "Sylbil Thorndike Casson" in black ballpoint, adding "with good wishes" below and dating it "July 13th" [1970] at upper right; and MAX VON SYDOW (1929-2020) boldly signs in black fineline, dating it "10/18/77" at upper right. Thorndike portrayed Ase in a famed production at London's Old Vic that included Ralph Richardson and Laurence Olivier, while Von Sydow in 1957 portrayed the title role in an Ingmar Bergman production in Sweden. Laid in are the original Thorndike and Von Sydow transmittal envelopes and the relevant "Sandglass" issue. An exceptionally tight 'n' bright and certainly an unusual copy. .
