Psalms and Hymns [1938] | Black Linen Cover | Joh. Enschedé Haarlem

A special church hymnbook from 1938, published by the General Synod of the Dutch Reformed Church.

This compact psalm and hymn book was printed just before the Second World War by Joh. Enschedé en Zonen in Haarlem – a printing house with a long and prestigious history in the Netherlands.

The black linen binding with gold print and the characteristic red edges give the book a modest yet powerful appearance. A tangible piece of the interbellum, originating from a period when church and society were still strongly intertwined.

Beautiful as a decorative object, as an addition to a religious collection, or as a historical document from Dutch church history.
