precious things of the past
people have left for us…4
Amsterdam, Netherlands
The highlight of an evening in Bussum. The Unger's graciously hosted the MATDs with a warm meal and happy company. Juanita, the rabbit, even made a special appearance.
Representing Lichenstein, USA, Canada and Amsterdam's many canals. Subtle similarities to sweet Louisiana's below sea level flat terrain only the USA needs more bikes on the road.
Nice white window display of origami wedding folds amid the Red Light District.
The pride and joy of the Dutch road: Gerard Unger's typeface for the ANWB. Am especially fond of the arrows.
An unusual find at an open-air book market. Van boom tot krant or From Tree to Paper by C. Pels. Not certain the date of publication, but it appears to be around the 1950s.
Tom Hagers, the young boy with slicked-back hair and a full suit, appears in numerous photographs demonstrating various stages of the papermaking process.
Dutch text:
"Achter een der ramen stond tom. tom hagers, oud dertien jaar bijna veertien, niet zo klein, niet zo du, niet zo dik, een gewone, normale jongen zoals er zoveel rond lopen. Hij wordt de hoofdepersoon van dit verhaal en daarom stelden wij hem zo even aan je voor. "
With the help of Google Translate thus far:
Tom stood behind one of the windows. Tom Hager, thirteen years old, almost fourteen, not so small, not so thick, an ordinary, normal guy like so many around. He is the main person in this story, so we asked him just to you.
Located in the back of the book, a copper matrix with teeth for the monotype machine (Koperen matrijsje voor de zet).
Amsterdam Airport Schiphol. She's a beauty, but am not fond of the All Other Passports queue (chiefly Brit. a line or sequence of people or vehicles awaiting their turn to be attended to or to) during Icelandic volcanic eruptions.
