In addition to other paper products, RELPI produced cardboard booklets for children, which were sold in the department store circuit, especially in the period 1947-1951. In terms of design, they are strikingly similar to those of Eykenhof, who produced these series from around 1951 onwards. More

Relpi v/h Van Amerongen (S. Gottschalk), Amsterdam took part in the categories luxury paper goods, paintings at the fourth Twentsche Noodbeurs, Hengelo (O), 4-6 February 1941.
Relpi produced a large number of coloring books, picture books, fairy tale books and other paper products for children. The production of children's reading books dates from 1947-1951.
These book covers are in exactly the same style as the later van Eykenhof (from 1951) and are undoubtedly the precursors – also because of the author's name 'Eerdmans'. Book production resumed after the war around 1947, so most of the cardboard readers of about 20 cm must date from 1947-1951.
Henk (Hendrik) Eerdmans (1912-1941) died in the war as an Englandvaarder. Rie (Mrs MME Duppen-) Eerdmans lived from 1914 to 1994.
