Dealer Notes

= A highlight of Dutch bibliophile printing. "Printed in the spring of 1929 by S.H. de Roos at (…) from: the works of Dante Gabriel Rossetti, edited by William Rossetti, London, 1911. The third publication [of 4] of the press is printed in 125 copies of which 110 for sale”.
Paul van Capelleveen in Het ideale boek: “In juni 1927 stuurde S.H. de Roos (1877-1962) een Aankondiging van De Heuvelpers rond. Het ‘bestaansrecht’ van deze private press zocht hij in de ambachtelijkheid. Om ‘de meest mogelijke zorg’ aan de uitgaven te besteden, werden de oplagen beperkt tot 125 exemplaren. (…) De beperkte oplage was maar één karakteristiek van de private press-traditie. Van Gelder Zonen vervaardigde speciaal geschept Hollands papier met als watermerk de letters H en P met een meidoornbloem. Er werd gedrukt op een Albion-handpers in de (daartoe verstevigde) woning van De Roos aan de Hyacintenlaan in Hilversum.”; Purvis, Dutch Graphic Design 1918- 1945, coloured ill. oppos. p.122
Provenance: on a mounted strip of Japanese paper on uper pastedown: “H.M. Offerman | 5 Dec. A.D. 55 | ex libris Albert Kuyle”.
