Very Good Dutch Original sepia toned photograph as printed postcard showing H. M. Wilhelmina meets Princess Juliana. 8,5x13,5 cm. In Dutch. Slightly toned and a minimal tape piece on verso. Otherwise a good paper. [BRIEFKAART] H. M. de Koningin met Prinses Juliana (Origineel Deutmann den Haag.). Uitgave v. Blankwaardt & Schoonhoven Rijswijk (Z.-H.).

Original single-sheet chromolithograph of exceptionally fine quality. Overall size 24 x 16.5 cm, printed on heavy paper. Bearing at foot the legend "Generale staf". Fine. (Short marginal tear, well away from image, discreetly mended.) - - Write for a full list of these prints. - - Beautiful and exquisitely produced chromolithographic plate from "Onze Krijgsmacht", P. F. Brunings' highly acclaimed work. It depicts two officers of the General Staff, one mounted, the second standing, both wearing sabers of the Cavalry. A battle scene in the background, just vaguely depicted. Rich, dense colours with excellent gloss; beautifully heightened in gold. An authoritative manual on chromolithography in 1885 (Colour and Colour Printing, by W. D. Richmond) asserts the need for at least nine separate stones to achieve such richness, but in fact the number of stones used was often more than twenty. The plate is in its original state; one margin is yet untrimmed, with the original stab-holes. First and only edition of Brunings' hallmark series of Dutch military uniforms of the 2nd half of the 19th century. (Lipperheide 2260; Colas 464).

"The following notes, made at various times in view of, and in the course of, successive yachting trips to Holland during the last ten years, are put together for publication in the hope that they may prove useful to those who may contemplate similar excursions. Probably no part of Europe affords ampler opportunities of enjoyment to the yachtsman who seeks to combine the charm and freshness of foreign travel with the quiet pleasure that springs from navigating his own vessel. Holland, indeed, is best seen and studied from its waterways." - Introduction. Somewhat above-average wear to publisher's dark blue cloth lettered in gilt. Back hinge starting.
