contents: The 50th anniversary of the 'Vereeniging ter bevordering van de belangen des boekhandels' (Dutch Book Trade Association), the present KVB, was celebrated in the 'Paleis voor Volksvlijt' (Palace for National Industry) in Amsterdam. This plate in the memorial volume gives an idea of the 'decoration of the hall', which formed an 'excellent, well-considered whole' with the 'Banquet'. During dinner there were, of course, appropriate songs and speeches, there was the performance by the 'Typografen Zang-Vereeniging 'Voorzorg en Genoegen' (Forethought and Delight)', the Haarlem type-hero Laurens Coster showed himself on the spot 'alive in bronze', there was a dialogue between him and the chairman, and fireworks finished the 'glorious, joyful celebration'.
