Prayer and Hymn Book – Papierwerk Paul Kaiser, Eupen c. 1940 - Leather Case
Ziggy's Collection
A special Catholic prayer and hymn book, printed in Eupen – the German-speaking part of Belgium.
Published by Papierwerk Paul Kaiser, presumably in the 1930s–50s. Bound in a full leather case with a zipper, featuring an embossed Holy Trinity and subtle gold inlay.
The page edges have a warm rose-gold glow, and the interior contains both liturgical texts and musical notation for hymns.
A personal prayer book – tangible heritage from a unique region where German and Belgian history intersect.
For us, a collector's item due to its provenance and exceptional aesthetics.
