Mosquito. Het scherm gaat op... De laatste Acte!
-
First edition thus. A scarce copy of this early 1945 Anti-Nazi propaganda. Published just after the liberation of The Netherlands on a clandestine press operated by Ons Volk. Stiff yellow card binding, with black and red decoration and titles. Publisher's information to the rear panel. A clean and tidy copy, with fractional darkening to the spine edge. A faint signature to the top edge of the front cover. Internally clean and tidy throughout, with fractional foxing spots. The first page states "Berlin February 1945." This refers to the images portrayed, rather than publication information. Front cover illustration is dated March 1945. 28 pages (the pages are numbered 1-27, but the centre pages share the page number 14). There was an earlier issue of this book (february 1945), with a different line of text to the front cover. The pages were un-numbered and the colophon stated "The name of this publication was borrowed from the small English fighter-dive bomber ' Mosquito ' that became famous mainly because of the quick, unexpected stabs it inflicted on the German war potential. The circulation is 750 copies. The proceeds go to support the illegal work." This March 1945 issue not numbered and shows no colophon. Pages are numbered. A scarce item, we can find none for sale at the time of cataloguing. This is stated as a variant issue in De Jong 579. 16cm x 11.5cm. Conforms to WorldCat / OCLC: 64329831. Seven library holdings shown, all in the Netherlands. Andries Frederiks worked as an artist for the Dutch Railways, producing posters and other advertising materials. Under the pseudonym Tyl or Tyl Uilenspiegel, he started working for Het Stichtse Pepertje, but his drawings soon appeared in other magazines as well. Frederiks was provided with the texts for the new articles and created his own illustrations, drawing them directly onto the printing plates of the publisher's small Rotaprint. .
