Born in Copenhagen in 1853, he was trained as a lithographer in art press. In 1874 he established his own lithographic institution in Copenhagen and soon began to self-publish.

He started his popular Picture book series “Danske Billedbøger” in 1890 to counteract the import of the popular German books. Each book consisted of 8 small color pages with verses and a color printed cover. The first four books called Nursery rhymes, child's play, How His guardian Geese and Poor Puppy Lise. In 1905, he reached up to no. 200 in the series of Danish picture books. In 1907 he created this one – Svine-drengen - number 266 with movable flaps.
