Interwar edition of “De Freelands” by the British writer John Galsworthy, published by Wereldbibliotheek and translated by Carry van Bruggen.

John Galsworthy received the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1932 and is one of the most famous English authors of the early twentieth century. His novels often deal with social themes such as class differences, property, and social change.

This Dutch edition was published in 1931 as the ninth edition in the well-known Wereldbibliotheek series, a publishing house that focused on making quality literature accessible.

The book is bound in purple cloth with gold lettering and features decorative typography on the title page. The interior contains characteristic ornamental borders and endpapers with graphic patterns, typical of interwar literature.

Due to the combination of classic literature, a decorative binding, and early 20th-century design, this book is interesting to both readers and lovers of vintage books and interior decoration.
