Group of nine, near mint, cdvs of Harald Colling (1835-1904) (aka Johan Frederik Harald Colling or Kolling) a noted Danish comic actor of the 19th century who was the first private actor to receive the Knight's Cross. All the cdv's bear a Peter Most, 22 Ostergade, Copenhagen backmark. Colling was born in Copenhagen. He began his career as an amateur actor while he was a tobacco purring companion (similar to American vaudeville). The director of the People's Theater, Hans Wilhelm Lange, saw him perform and signed him to a contract with the People's Theater. He had a small role in the Theater's September 18, 1857 opening performance, but this was the start of more than 450 characters he would play throughout his career. He was a hit with the Copenhagen bourgeoisie. Slight of build Colling was an excellent character actor. His most noted roles included the character Charles Sapuer (the editor) in "Copy Editor." He played one season (1870-71) at the Royal Theater, but missed performing every night, and the following season returned to the Peoples Theater and remained one of their best (if not, the best) comedians.

His last performance was on Sept. 14, 1901. He died three years later. He was the first private theater actor who received the Knight's Cross. [Peter Most (aka Carl Peter Herman Most (1826-1900) was a Danish photographer]. These photographs came from a Danish cdv album with most of the cdv's dating 1869, so I assume that is also the time period for these cdvs (thus making him in his mid-30s when these were taken. All these cdv's were for roles he had at the Peoples Theater. The top row, left to right (see scans) pictures him (a)in as a character in "the Pit " by Charles Dickens , (b) private view of H.
