About this Item
Amsterdam, Van Holkema en Warendorf, [1923-1925], 16x23.5 cm, blue linen binding with title and decoration in gold on front and spine, gilded top edge and headbands. Incomplete set: volume 1 and 3 (of three), 324+320 pp., foxed, but otherwise in good condition. With a portrait of Couperus (photograph by E. van de Kerkhoff) next to the titlepage. The cover was designed by Jan Bertus Heukelom. Couperus was not fond of the design. In a letter to the publisher he asked to have the lettering changed to a regular font ("Toe, laat u dat "spijkerschrift" van het titelblad veranderen in eenvoudige letter! Ik ben helemaal niet kubistisch!!"). The second and third volume were published after Couperus' death. The third volume was suggested and compiled by Couperus' wife Elisabeth Couperus-Baud. Lit: Van Vliet (2000), 320-323 pp. l First edition, volume 1 and 3 (of three). Seller Inventory # 69434
