Peter Christian Kierkegaard’s obituary for his little brother who died young appears in a chaos of
entirely prosaic announcements, ranging from Havana cigars to reasonably priced cloaks to French “ce-
ment steel pens.” The right-hand column contains an offer for a French preparation for ladies “whose
appearance is disfigured with hair that grows low upon the forehead.” Just under the obituary for the
country’s most important thinker is a “Missing” advertisement for a “little red and white male dog of
the English race with a white chest and white legs.” The runaway dog answers to the name Pion, and
someone in Sølvgade “promises a good reward for its recovery.”
