= Parr/ Badger II, p.190: "Martien Coppens was considered one of the more traditional postwar Dutch photographers (...). In 1958, however, he made a photobook for the paper company Lecturis based in Eindhoven, which spectacularly threw off his somewhat staid image. Much of the credit for this, though, must go to the graphic designer, Herman Rademaker, who fabricated a highly experimental design using photographs that Coppens had taken in the marshy region of De Peel, in Brabant. There, the burnt down trees and stumps - as Coppens writes in the book - had assumed the form of grotesque monsters". SEE ILLUSTRATION PLATE XXXIII.
