Title of the third and last book (album) of Bobo the Eskimo Boy.

Catalog number 530871.

The drawing on the cover is certainly not by Jan Lutz himself. Also not provided with his known initials.

Artist Jan Lutz had already passed away on September 7, 1957. The album was released in the autumn of 1958.

My question: who drew that drawing on the cover of the book?

Could it be Bert Bus or someone else who worked at De Spaarnestad?

Ton, that's a good question. It will be difficult to figure out, after all the publisher will undoubtedly have asked the artist concerned to make something in the style of Lutz as a cover. That worked out quite well, I never noticed. But apparently the Lutz connoisseurs do ...........

Found!

This afternoon at the outdoor book market on the Canadaplein in Alkmaar Jaap Leguijt spoke about the cover of the book 'On the Zeeroverseiland'.

He confirmed that the cover drawing is from Bert Bus.

The copy of the album in his possession contains a letter written by Bert Bus himself.

Jaap Leguijt is the publisher of Amor Vincit Omnia and has released several editions with the work of Bert Bus.
