Beschrijving
Amsterdam, Van Holkema en Warendorf, [1923-1925], 16×23.5 cm, blue linen binding with title and decoration in gold on front and spine. Incomplete set: volume 2 and 3 (of three), 304+320 pp., foxed, but otherwise in good condition. NB: the binding of the third volume states it concerns volume 1, but it concerns volume 3. 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.
