This 1913 prospectus by Reinier Willem Petrus de Vries advertises a series of publications titled "Onze Koloniën," or "Our Colonies," produced by the Hollandia printing press in Baarn. The artwork features a stylized figure in a seated position, a decorative motif that likely refers to the Dutch colonial possessions in Asia. The prospectus announces that the first series of ten publications is available for subscription. "Onze Koloniën" is a fascinating example of early 20th-century Dutch print design and its connection to colonial narratives.
