This sketchbook was purchased at a public auction. It is always an ethical issue as an art dealer what to do with it. You can leave it on the shelf for years to look at it yourself sometimes or you can properly document it as we present it here and take it apart, whereby the works are sold separately and provided with a certificate of authenticity. Purchasing the book as a whole is only for the happy few who have enough money. By offering it as loose leaves, a very wide audience is given the opportunity to acquire a truly original drawing by Frans Masereel for a reasonable price. Because the entire book is captured on video as well as on individual scans, it is made available to a wide audience of enthusiasts. This is the reason, together with the fact that we as a company have to make money, that we have chosen to offer the leaves of this book individually and to make the video available as well as the book in PDF format as soon as all the pages have been scanned.
