It was published as publication number 16 of "Stichting De Roos", based in Utrecht, as a literary publication for bibliophiles. Of the 200 copies, the majority was meant for members of that same foundation in Utrecht (175 copies) and the remaining 25 were meant for the "Quellinus" association, which supported the publication of this work. The present work consists of a rhymed story about "Aunt Beetle", written by Lizzy Ansignh, alongside 12 illustrations (and an illustrated front board and title-page) by Nelly Bodenheim. The work was lithographed by and hand-coloured under supervision of Jean-Paul Vroom in 1950, in facsimile after the handwriting (and draughtsmanship) of Ansignh and Bodenheim. It tells and illustrates the story about "Aunt Beetle's" birthday and all anthopomorphic animals coming to visit her, including a mosquito, bees, a maybeetle, flies, a dragonfly, ants, caterpillars, and other beetles.The boards are very slightly toned and slightly bumped around the corners and the head and foot of the spine, internally fine and clean. Overall in very good condition. Ad 2 shows some very small spots in the margins, otherwise in very good condition.l WorldCat 899042306, 54290625 (19 copies). Seller Inventory # ABC_47828
