Een eeuw Hoenderloo 1851-1951

Fifty photographs by Paul Huf, later a well-known photographer, make up the picture sections of this centenary book for the Hoenderloo foundation (Stichting Hoenderloo), which looks back on a hundred years from 1851 to 1951. The photo reportage reflects how, in the 1950s, pictorial reporting became a modern means of promotion in the competition between institutions such as Hoenderloo and other social organisations. The book was designed by Charles Jongejans, who trained from 1936 to 1940 in the advertising department of the Academy of Fine Arts in The Hague under the functionalists Gerard Kiljan and Paul Schuitema. His typography earned the volume a place among the fifty best-produced books of 1951. It is printed on several kinds of paper from Proost and Brandt, with cover paper in three colours, and the chapters use different printing and supporting colours.
