Here is part 3 of my blog series about the #NorwegianExlibris. Read it at https://www.annikarockenberger.com/2025-11-12/norwegian-exlibris-3/.

Guaranteed free of #genAI, but full of typos & too long sentences. I will fix the typos & edit the text at my earliest convenience (not tonight).

This time, I dug up a 1940 newspaper article and two special prints of it published in 1941 & 1942, both skilfully manufactured in O. Christiansens boktrykkeri.

📣 Read about the introduction of the #ExLibris to the masses in my recent blog post!

Between Christmas and New Year's 1940, advertisement manager Hugo Høgdahl dedicates an entire first page of the Saturday supplement of one of Norway's largest newspapers, #Morgenposten, to exlibris, yet another attempt to market bookplates to a broader, less exclusive audience.

We dive deeper into the connection between book collectors and advertising in 1940s Oslo!
