Catalogue information
Book was published by De Haan in Utrecht, around 1920 (info KB). This copy is handmade (drawings and text), and also bound with ribbon. The first possibility is that a reader of the De Haan edition has copied this himself. However, some minor differences in the text, and in particular the other cover drawing, suggest that this may have been a kind of design sketch or manuscript of the (unknown) author and illustrator. This is supported by the seller's explanation that he found this book at a publisher, among all kinds of other manuscripts. In that case, this book should have been made just before 1920. But it can also just be an example of fine home craftsmanship. In any case, it seems unique.
