Haarlem, H.D. Tjeenk Willink & Zoon, [1909], 38pp, original illustrated paper binding, Dr. Oscar II was King of Sweden (and Norway) linguist, poet and orator. Oscar II (Oscar Fredrik) (21 January 1829 – 8 December 1907) was King of Sweden from 1872 until his death, and King of Norway from 1872 to 1905. Oscar II was King during a time when both Sweden and Norway were undergoing a period of industrialization and rapid technological progress. His reign also saw the gradual decline of the Union of Sweden and Norway, which culminated in its dissolution in 1905. He was subsequently succeeded as King of Norway by his grandnephew Prince Carl of Denmark under the regnal name Haakon VII, and as King of Sweden by his eldest son, Gustaf V.
