It was not used for long, and a smaller size was created from the 1950's. 46cm x 31cm visible area under passe partout and frame of 61cm by 43cm (The actual poster has part of the blank area hidden behind the passe partout and is approx 57cm x 36cm).

    . Affiche publicitaire originale des années 1940 pour Scheidam Jenever. Elle représente un grand Pinneke Proost chevauchant une bouteille de genièvre Jansen. En excellent état, sans défauts significatifs. Encadrée dans un sympathique cadre métallique rouge sous verre. En 1943, l'entreprise a demandé à Marten Toonder de créer "Het recept van Pinneke Proost". Pinneke Proost était le nain de maison (Kabouter) de Jansen Gin. Dans la bande dessinée créée par Toonder, il sauve la situation en démasquant un faux gin et en démontrant que celui de Jansen est supérieur. Impressionnée, l'entreprise a demandé à Hans G. Kresse (l'un des collaborateurs de Toonder) de créer la publicité pour elle. Le résultat est cette affiche. Elle n'a pas été utilisée longtemps et un format plus petit a été créé à partir des années 1950. 46 cm x 31 cm de surface visible sous le passe-partout et cadre de 61 cm par 43 cm (l'affiche actuelle a une partie de la surface vierge cachée derrière le passe-partout et mesure environ 57 cm x 36 cm).

    Bristol: Joseph Lansdown & John Mills, 1808. A lovely example of an English Emblem book. Second Lansdown and Mills edition, following the first of 1806. Two works bound as one. Simple half blue leather with dark cloth boards and gilt titles to the spine. The binding is neat, and clean with a couple of marks only. Owner's name and date to the end paper of each title. Emblems moral and divine has a frontis portrait of Quarles, an engraved title, and 79 engraved emblems. Following this (and still part of the the first book) the Heiroglyphics contains 14 plates. Book two - The School of the Heart, has a frontis (the same portrait) engraved title, and 48 plates. Both books are complete. A total of 143 engraved plates + 2 engraved titles. The binding is slightly weak in parts (holding well, but with slight cracking). The first frontis is slightly separating, and the front end paper has been supported with archival tape. A few light marks to pages, and general darkening of the pages, but overall a very attractive example. Pagination: [x], 278., [iv], 154, [viii]. pp. The the end are the translations of the Latin mottos from the School of the Heart. 155 x 105 mm (6 x 4¼ inches). Francis Quarles (1592-1644) was an English poet. He is best known for the Emblems.
