Psalms & Hymns [1938] | Gilt edge and push button

An authentic church book from the interwar period (1938), published for the Dutch Reformed Church.

This compact psalm and hymn book was printed by Joh. Enschedé en Zonen in Haarlem and contains both psalms and evangelical hymns with musical notation. The book has a black leather cover, gilt edges, and a characteristic patina that only develops through years of use.

The wear on the spine and the discolouration of the paper give the book a lived-in, historic look. A small object with a clear sense of history — perfect as a decorative piece in a sober, classic, or ecclesiastical interior.
