Eeuwig 1913 #[nn]

Marcel Ruijters brings his wonderfully expressive cartooning to Eeuwig 1913, a Dutch-language graphic work set against the backdrop of the early twentieth century. The cover — rendered entirely by Ruijters in pencils and inks — bursts with a vivid pink atmosphere and a boisterous crowd of Edwardian-dressed characters: a bowler-hatted man raising a bottle aloft, a sharp-faced figure in a dark coat and hat, a grinning youth clutching a cigar, and a laughing woman in a light blue blouse, all pressed together in gleeful, almost anarchic energy against a silhouetted city skyline. It's a richly textured invitation into what promises to be a lively, satirical look at life in 1913.
