Kuipers, co-director of publishing house Querido at the time, set up the private press 'De Zondagsdrukkers' in 1953 with his friend and author Simon Carmiggelt to typeset and print editions themselves. For individual projects, however, he adopted the imprint 'De Zondagsdrukker' (singular). Provenance: gift from Reinoud Kuipers to K. Schippers. (total 2)
