RICHLY COLORED OPAQUE ILLUSTRATIONS

cartoon-like illustrations. There are 2 vertical illustrations per page and each is enclosed
with a thick black border. Under each "section" are 2 lines of lettered text. Black paper cover with paper pictorial label and decor eps. Lithographed at Belderbos & Coesel, Amsterdam.
The artist, Jan Rinke, lived from 1863 to 1922.
The corners, and spine tips are rubbed - more so at the top spine edge. On spine - there are a few spots where the black paper is missing showingthe cardbd underneath. It is a thin cover and there are creases which can be felt mostly on the back cover. The front inner hinge has been archivally glued in some spots.
Still a nice copy of an unusual book
