Modern Dutch Interiors

Erica Van Horn & Simon Cutts

2014

36pp xerox, with 8 tipped-in samples of corporate envelope interiors in cut window-mounts, with envelope interior endpapers.105 x 150mm, sewn and casebound with cover image embossed inlay. 150 numbered copies. Peter Foolen, the Dutch editor, sent the envelope interiors for this collection, which have a plain-ness and consistent simplicity. They employ reduced repetition, assmmetry, and even at times a formal randomness approaching camouflage. They bring the nineteenth century origin of the printed envelope interior as a means of hiding the contents into our time, and are mostly of banks, water and road-rescue companies, and other governmental institutions.
