***Bauer (1867-1932) was a popular Orientalist painter, Dijsselhof (1866-1924) trained in the studio of P.J.H.Cuypers, cut a number of typefaces and developed an airy floral decoration expressive of international Art Nouveau. Extremely rare, even on paper, as the edition was never fully completed..
