Wat gij bij de hand wilt hebben is a distinctive Dutch graphic design artifact from 1935. Designed by the pioneering modern artist and designer Paul Schuitema, this work serves as an advertising folder (werbefolder) for dictionaries of new languages published by J.B. Wolters in Groningen. The piece is characterized by its innovative use of photo-montage, a hallmark of the New Typography movement. It features striking red and black printing on both sides, depicting various social scenes including school life, family environments, and office settings. One notable image depicts Schuitema himself as a teacher in front of a blackboard. The folder is typically presented in a harmonica or twice-folded format.
