"The colorful illustrations that make up the collage come from the famous albums that nature conservationist, teacher and writer Jac P. Thijsse wrote especially for biscuit manufacturer Verkade between 1906 and 1938. The illustrations in the albums were made by artist Jan Voerman, among others, and received each with a pack of cookies. They were enthusiastically collected and pasted throughout the Netherlands. Not only a brilliant example of marketing, but also a great way to encourage love for Dutch nature. Because "too many Dutch people do not yet realize , in which wonderful country they have the privilege to live," says Thijsse."
