Bengt Berg (1885–1967)
Bengt Magnus Kristoffer Berg was a Swedish ornithologist, zoologist, wildlife photographer, and writer. He is best remembered for photos and movies of birds, taken on several expeditions.

This Copenhagen printing features a handsome half‑leather binding, raised bands, and embossed eagle motif on the front board. The translation is by noted Danish poet Valdemar Rørdam, who also translated several of Berg’s nature works during the 1920s This early Danish edition of Bengt Berg’s celebrated work on the Swedish sea eagle combines literary grace with conservationist insight. The dedication reads: “Den som skænker et Fristed til det sidste svenske Havørnepar tilegnes denne Bog” — honoring those who protect the last Swedish eagle pair.

Leather shows light rubbing and edge wear. Pages clean and bright; binding sound. Beautiful gift idea.
