AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Tuin van Eros – Jan Engelman - first edition (1932) in red linen binding – a very fine copy from the edition of only 100 bundles - very rare!
Colophon text:
TUIN VAN EROS, poems by Jan Engelman, which includes nine poems from ‘Sine Nomine’ (De Gemeenschap, Utrecht, 1930), were typeset in December 1932 from a single font of Cochin and printed on paper by Pannekoek to a maquette by Charles Nypels, master printer in Amsterdam. The one-off edition consists of one hundred copies for trade and 25 copies reserved for the author and the printer. The drawings are by Henk Wiegersma.
Publication: Centum Nec Plura/Amsterdam, 1932.
Author: Johannes Aloysius Antonius (Jan) Engelman (1900 – 1972) was a Dutch poet, critic and translator.
Edition: Bound, red linen with gold embossing (female figure on the front cover, title and author on the spine), 64 pp. + 4 pp. of contents and colophon, 26 x 19.5 cm, the first and last 2 pages not cut open
Condition: very fine copy, spine slightly discolored
Tuin van Eros contains the dedication ‘Aan Ambrosia’. ‘Ambrosia’ is the poetic name for Annie van der Meijden-Bakker, wife of violinist Frans van der Meijden.
The volume includes four nude drawings by Hendrik Wiegersma (1891-1969): on the front cover, as a frontispiece, at the table of contents and at the colophon.
The poet is mainly known for his poem Vera Janacopoulos, which, according to some, is a typical example of poésie pure. Another well-known poem regarded as such is En Rade, which Engelman himself called a vocalise.
Both poems are, of course, included in this volume.
