This original Verkade picture album "De Vecht" from 1915 is a beautifully illustrated collector's album, written by the renowned conservationist and author Jac. P. Thijsse. Published by the Dutch biscuit and chocolate manufacturer Verkade, this album is part of the beloved Verkade album series, which allowed customers to collect and paste pictures.

In this album, Thijsse takes the reader along the picturesque Vecht River, which flows from Utrecht to the IJsselmeer. He describes not only the nature and landscape, but also the rich history and culture of the region, with its stately country estates, historic towns like Weesp and Loenen, and the river's influence on people's lives.

The text is enlivened by dozens of beautiful illustrations and watercolors, including those by renowned artist Jan Voerman Sr., who makes a unique contribution to the album with his atmospheric depictions of the Dutch landscape.

The Vecht offers a glimpse into the Netherlands at the beginning of the 20th century and is a valuable document for lovers of nature, culture, and history. Today, the album is a sought-after collector's item, especially when complete and with all the pictures glued in.

All the pictures are glued into the album. The book is intact with no major tears or damage.

Due to the age of the albums, there will be some signs of wear, such as discoloration on the pages, age spots, and small tears in the cover and pages. But nothing major that will detract from the enjoyment of reading and viewing the book.

The album measures 24x30 cm.
