The next three lots are proofs and unused covers for De Architect, a magazine edited by the 'Genootschap Architectura et Amicitia, Amsterdam' in 1893. This society which was established in 1855 layed the foundations for almost all Dutch architectural trends in the 20th Century. The magazine can be considered as the first important Dutch architectural magazine. The designs of the next three covers were presented awards and came originally from the Estate of the publishers and printers H. Kleinmann & Co. in Haarlem
