This auction ends soon; it is a book on Axel Petersson's life and carvings.
He is credited as the first caricature carver.

I already have a copy.

Whoever won that auction stole that book.
I think I paid $64 to have my copy shipped from Sweden.

Rick,
Thanks for posting the Petersson auction. Looked interesting, but I figured it might get expensive and I'm pretty rusty on my Swedish.
