Beets, print with glass front, undated

This collection contains the items collected by Tjitze Kuipers that document the life of Abraham Kuyper. It includes dozens of portraits of Kuyper and his political contemporaries, as well as portraits of John Calvin. The collection also contains hundreds of large political cartoon prints and caricatures and posters. Objects and artifacts in the collection include furniture and three-dimensional Kuyper paraphernalia.

In addition, the collection holds hundreds of pamphlets and several boxes of papers which have (as of May 2010) yet to be catalogued. Kuipers’ library of works about Kuyper, including complete runs of De Standaard and De Heraut, will be cataloged separately.
