This original picture album In den Dierentuin from 1925 is a beautifully illustrated collector's album, published by the Dutch biscuit and rusk manufacturer Hille & Zoon. This album offered collectors the opportunity to compile a colorful and educational collection of pictures of animals in zoos, which was a popular way to get to know nature at the time.
This album does not contain loose pasted pictures, but the pictures are already printed in the album by the publisher. So people could buy a complete album.
The album takes the reader on a fascinating journey through the zoo, describing a wide range of exotic and native animals, from majestic predators such as lions and tigers to unusual birds, reptiles and monkeys. The texts are informative and entertaining, and are complemented by beautifully detailed and colourful illustrations.
The combination of educational content and atmospheric illustrations makes In den Dierentuin a special collector's item.
The album is 24x30 cm.
Due to age, there may be discolouration in the paper and here and there a tear or minor damage, but this should certainly not spoil the fun of admiring and reading this album.
Not only is this album beautiful to read but it is also great to use for all kinds of creative projects such as art journaling, scrapbooking, ephemera, junk journal and snail mail.
