Condition: Excellent.

Extensive book by Antoon Markus (1842-1907) "Teacher at the H.B.S. in Arnhem" about the 19th century history of the Gelderland capital. Illustrated in black and white. With alphabetical index in the front. Bound first edition in Art Nouveau binding.

¶ Important book that every 'Arnhemiana' collector should own in his library. The historical data for the period 1800-1900 are still interesting, but most important are now the nostalgic (mostly in Art Nouveau style designed) advertisements for Arnhem companies from the fin-de-siècle. Gysbers & Van Loon published photomechanical reprints between 1965 and 1975. But this is the original!
