Dealer Notes

The Norwegian businessman Jonas Lied (1881-1969) attempted to open a trading route to Northern Siberia, in 1913 founding the Siberia Company with this purpose. That year he and Fridtjof Nansen sailed to the area, publishing a joint article of their findings in Britain’s Geographical Journal for 1914. Nansen also published this book narrative of the expedition, which was translated into English as Through Siberia, the Land of the Future (1914). Nansen presented this copy to Christian Blom Lorentzen (1863-1936), a businessman, paper merchant, and member of the board of the Siberian Company.
