Catch book for flowers with six loto cards. El Pintor is the writer's name of the couple Jacob Kloot and Anna Galinka Ehrenfest. Jacob Kloot, painter, born in Amsterdam on September 20, 1916, married in 1941 with the Russian Anna Galinka Ehrenfest (1910-1979), whom he had met at the Nieuwe Kunstschool in Amsterdam. The couple had no children. They lived in Amsterdam. He was an artist, publisher and owner of 'Corunda' on the Keizersgracht. Because he was Jewish they made children's books under the author's name 'El Pintor', so concealing that they were a duo. Jacob Kloot was involved in helping people in hiding. He facilitated gatherings of illegal workers, including by renting housing. The first book published in 1941, El Pintor's Magic Book of 1001 nights, was a success. Later they became so successful that Corunda's books were also exported to Germany during the war. When Jacob and Galinka bought a house, Jacob was identified as a Jew. He was arrested in Leiden on 30 May 1943 and deported to Sobibor via the penal prison in Scheveningen and Westerbork, where he died on 2 July 1943.
