The bibliographic records match your book closely: the Rupert Hart-Davis edition was published in 1960, in English, in Michael Meyer’s new translation.

Even better, this wasn’t an isolated volume. Rupert Hart-Davis published a handsome nine-volume series of Ibsen plays from 1960–63, all in blue boards with differently coloured dust jackets and the portrait of Ibsen on the front—exactly the design visible in your photograph. The series included Peer Gynt, The Wild Duck, Hedda Gabler, The Master Builder, Brand and others.
