Illustrated with black and white photographs, reproductions and facsimiles of their handwriting and signature. With table of contents. Edition: 35,000 copies. According to De Bakker p.8 the book should contain a (separate?) competition entry form.

Contributions about i.a. Louis Couperus (by Henri van Booven), Jac. van Looy (Lodewijk van Deyssel), Marcellus Emants, Frederik van Eeden (Henri Borel), Herman Gorter, Jacob Israël de Haan (Jacques Bloem), Carry van Bruggen, Karel van de Woestijne, Israël Querido, Herman Heijermans, Ary Prins, Joh . de Meester, J.H. Leopold and Jacqueline E. van der Waals.

PLEASE NOTE: No entry-form present here. On the French title page a bookstore label of J. Waltman Jr. from Delft. A small piece of the spine is missing at the bottom, there is a 10 cm tear on the hinge and a 3 cm tear in the front cover. However, given the poor condition in which this fragile booklet is usually found, our copy can be called quite decent and collectible.
