Wendingen - 1919 nummer 12 - 1919

Rare issue of the famous architectural magazine Wendingen: twelfth issue from the second year, at the time a print run of 950. In reasonably good condition, see the photos.

Wendingen was a very leading monthly magazine for building and adornment. A Dutch architecture and art periodical that was published from 1918 to 1933, first by the Amsterdam publisher De Hooge Brug (Henri Wiessing) and from 1924 by the publisher C.A. Mees in Santpoort (Mea Verwey and Conno Mees).

The editor-in-chief was the architect Hendrik Wijdeveld, who played an important role concerning content, layout and typography. Many architects and artists contributed to the magazine.

Wendingen from the early years is very scarce, also because of the poor paper that was used. There are still several tens or hundreds of copies left, most of which are in international museum collections and libraries.

This copy is in reasonably good condition; the raffia binding is intact and the interior as well, the cover shows some cracks and discoloration on the inner back side. See the photos for details.

The contents include, among other things, the School of Architecture in Amsterdam, artist Karl Scheffer, and a number of architecture and interior discussions/reviews.
