‎Angling in Troubled Waters Der Fischfang im Trüben - La Pêche en l'eau trouble - La Pesca nelle acque turbes. A Serio-Comic Map of Europe By Fred W. Rose. Author of the ""Octopus"" map of Europe.‎

‎London, Bacon & Co. Ltd., 1899. Chromlithographed folded map (50 x 71 cm) in original printed covers (20 x 14 cm). 5 cm tear in horisontal fold in left margin. 10 cm long tear in spine of cover, but map and wrappers still firmly attached, otherwise a fine copy. ‎

‎A fine copy of Frederick Rose’s famous caricature map of Europe with each country depicted as an angler having various levels of success in catches colonies. Serving as an allegory for European colonial interference elsewhere, this type of map influenced and reflected popular opinion, much like a political cartoon. Political boundaries and power struggles define this work. The 19th-century “serio-comic map” caricaturizes each European country as a fisherman, holding a sack with its imperial catch, or about to lose what it has caught. Serving as an allegory for European colonial interference elsewhere, this type of “persuasive” map influenced and reflected popular opinion, much like a political cartoon. Despite the popularity of his posters and a considerable output, there has been some controversy regarding Frederick Rose’s exact identity, in part due to his common name. Recent research suggest that Rose was of honorable Scottish descent and spent most of his professional life working as a civil-servant at Somerset House in London (Inland Revenue at the time).‎

‎Rare first Danish translation - with dedication from the translator - of Saadi's ""Gulistan,"" often translated as ""The Rose Garden,"" a masterpiece of Persian literature written by the 13th-century Persian poet and prose writer, Saadi Shirazi – “probably the single most influential work of prose in the Persian tradition"" (Encyclopædia Iranica). It is a collection of stories, anecdotes, moral teachings, and poetry that are presented in both prose and verse forms. The work is considered one of the most important and enduring pieces of Persian literature. The book is divided into eight chapters, each of which focuses on different aspects of life, morality, ethics, and social conduct. These chapters cover topics such as justice, humility, friendship, love, and the importance of education. The stories and anecdotes in the ""Gulistan"" are often used to convey moral lessons and practical advice. They are known for their wit, humor, and deep insight into human nature. Saadi's writing style is characterized by its eloquence, simplicity, and use of everyday language, making his teachings accessible to a wide audience. The ""Gulistan"" has been translated into numerous languages and has had a profound influence on literature and thought across the world. Its teachings have been appreciated by scholars, philosophers, and leaders throughout history. The work has also played a role in shaping Persian cultural identity and ethical values.‎

‎Sophus Michaëlis brokker sig i hårde toner over ikke at have modtaget et honorar for et originalt digt (sandsynligvis det vedlagte), som han dog ville kræve af bladet, ikke Rose Thyregod. ""-jeg fordrer og faar Honorar af ethvert/ Blad for et enquête bidrag, jeg selv skriver."" Han brokker sig over at være blevet fejlciteret og over, at det pågældende digt har fungeret som ""Rosin i Pölseenden - det var jo Pölsen/ jeg ville være fri for!""... Digtet omhandler ""Det quindelige"".‎
