Verkade picture albums can be regarded as the most successful Dutch advertising campaign of the 20th century. In 1903, Verkade, the bread, cake, and rusk manufacturer from Zaandam, started to publish pictures that could be pasted into specially-made albums. Soon, a large part of the Netherlands was captivated by the pictures; collecting and exchanging these pictures became a national hobby.
The albums stimulated the sale of Verkade biscuits and rusk bread. Yet, the Verkade albums were not just a publicity stunt. Jac. P. Thijsse was responsible for 20 of the 35 albums. With his inspiring texts he was playfully spreading knowledge of and love for nature and the Dutch landscape.
Complete! Very rare to find them complete wit all pictures in it. Books and pictures in rather good shape but used. Tik Tak book has loose bindings.
