Philately books

Anyone who loves philately books like me? I only buy them when they are on sale though, as they are quite expensive.

"Poes met vijf jongen" door Henriëtte Ronner-Knip

Henriëtte Ronner-Knip (31 May 1821, Amsterdam - 2 March 1909, Elsene) was a Dutch painter.

Born Henriëtte Knip in Amsterdam, she moved at a young age to Den Bosch and was until 1850 active in Sint-Michielsgestel and Boxtel. That year she married Feico Ronner and moved to Belgium, first to Brussels and in 1878 to Elsene. She studied with her father, Joseph August Knip.

She was best known for her paintings of subjects from nature, especially cats and dogs.
