Illustrated edition of “Vuurvlindertje – Een nieuw verhaal voor groote kinderen” by the Dutch writer Herman Heijermans.

Heijermans is one of the most important Dutch authors from the early twentieth century and is best known for the play Op Hoop van Zegen. In Vuurvlindertje, he opts for a more narrative and almost fairy-tale-like style.

This edition features illustrations by George van Raemdonck, a well-known illustrator and cartoonist from the same period. His expressive line drawings give the book a recognizable and characteristic appearance.

The book is bound in its original brown linen publisher's binding with gold print and a decorative cover panel with an illustration. Inside, several illustrations accompany the story.

The combination of literature, illustration, and a distinctive publisher's binding makes this an attractive book for lovers of early 20th-century Dutch literature, illustrated books, and decorative vintage books.
