= The book was issued in parts from 1893 up to 1901, reflecting the development of the "Nieuwe Kunst", a Dutch variant of the international Art Nouveau. It contains a large number of full- and halfpage illustrations, vignettes, borders, all lithographed in delicate colours, partly with gold and silver.
