During the war years, the Indonesian-born artist Saraochim Salim (1908-2008) worked in the Netherlands, where he provided illustrations for (clandestinely published) books, but he also regularly embellished books for bibliophile patrons with pen drawings and watercolours. In 1946 Salim left for Paris. Henny Berkemeier (1921-2012) learned bookbinding in the late 1930s at the applied arts school in Amsterdam, where she started a bookbinding workshop with her fellow student Meentje Rietema after the war. They regularly exhibited together and when a competition was held in 1951 for a band for Vertellingen van Generzijds by F. Bordewijk, Meentje Rietema won the second prize and Henny Berkemeier the third. In 1953 she emigrated to Malaysia, eventually to Australia. Cf. Petitfils I, 27.
