Taken from Ensie.nl: Have, Nelly Johanna ten MEANING & DEFINITION Have, Nelly Johanna ten - Nelly Johanna ten Have (1900-1982), calligrapher, was married to Albert Spruyt, but published under her maiden name. Ten Have was also the name of the calligraphic studio she started in 1925. At the age of 16 she entered the business of her father, the bookseller W. ten Have in the Kalverstraat. He had his daughter undergo special training, and in 1918 the first card-with-a-spelling, designed and printed in color by her, went on sale. Her sister Tiny, who died in 1970, also worked in her studio, Herengracht 335. A complete collection of Nelly ten Have's designs can be found in the National Museum of Religious Art in Utrecht.
