Artist E Douwes Dekker

I'm trying to find a reference to E. Tn (or In) Douwes Dekker, an artist who did a chalk of a beautiful dark skinned woman signed Oct. 1984.

I thought I had found him but 1st guy mentioned below died in 1950. I can't find a reference to a son of his but maybe if you have one of the books cited below you can help me out? I would like to know who the woman in the chalk is - his wife? Mother? Is she Islamic? When did the artist die and where? I own the art piece but can't find the artist listed anywhere. People always ask me who the woman is and I'd like to have the answer. I'll post the photo at: http://oldbaglady.blogspot.com this evening.

Thanks for any assistance you can provide. Madlyn

Dutch East Indies.
the younger Douwes Dekker was related to the famous writer, Eduard Douwes Dekker, author of Max Havelaar, who was his grandfather's brother.[2]

Later he was allowed to return to the East Indies. In 1922, he taught in Bandung in a lower school. Two years later as head of the school, he renamed it the "Ksatrian Institute". This institute was officially recognised by the government in 1926. In the same year, he married Johanna Mussel, one of its teachers, six years after divorcing his first wife

In February 1947, he changed his name to "Danudirja Setiabudi" which means 'powerful substance, faithful spirit'. In 8 March 1947 after divorcing his second wife, he married Haroemi Wanasita, in an Islamic ceremony

His life is recorded in a biography: 'Het Leven van EFE Douwes Dekker, by Frans Glissenaar in 1999.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multatuli
He spent his later years in Bandung, writing his autobiography, 70 Jaar Konsekwent (1950). Douwes Dekker died in 1950.
Eduard Douwes Dekker (2 March 1820 – 19 February 1887), better known by his pen name Multatuli, was a Dutch writer famous for his satirical novel, Max Havelaar (1860) in which he denounced the abuses of colonialism in the colony of the Dutch East Indies (today's Indonesia).

How do men do it?

Everything is "pocket" or "key ring" sized now - but where do men keep all this stuff on a book hunting trip?

Women have purses (many of which are so large now that our shoulders have rotator cuff tears) but good grief - men can't have this many pockets?

The key ring has to have the PayPal security key ring decoder on it, a pen attached, a small magnifying glass, the camera's card reader and a GPS receiver. In addition you have the a library check out membership code, and the office supply and drug store discount code key ring cards.


The Pocket guide for identifying first editions and one for help remembering the author pseudonyms and a list of your customers' wants.

Then add the cell phone/blackberry and camera to your pockets and some money, the pocket guide to bookstores & antique malls and pretty soon your pockets are full!

Now this doesn't include your tube of hand lotion, your anti-germ cleanser, kleenex for the problem that dust causes and sun screen to prevent skin cancer.

It doesn't include your computer & charger, the cell, camera, phone and GPS chargers (for both motel and car.

Wasn't the idea of having a laptop computer supposed to help us travel more efficiently? We didn't anticipate the additional luggage we'd need however!

Women have purses and men never can figure out what is in those big heavy things - but I can't figure out where men put their essentials! - OH, yes I do - they're called RVs - men's version of a purse - something to carry just the bare essentials in!

St. Petersburg, FL Booking & Antiquing

Some days are just more fun than others! Today my husband and I took the opportunity to attend an antique fair at the St. Petersburg, FL Coliseum. When we arrived at 9:50AM we were about #20 in a line that grew to maybe 100 people by the 10:00 AM opening. I hope that was an indication of a good attendance for all 3 days of the fair.

The Coliseum is a lovely facility - the site of part of the filming of "Cocoon" years ago. The booths were all great looking and the dealers that I spoke with were friendly. Lighthouse Books was there with a big alcove booth. Michael Slicker is a mainstay of the St. Pete and FL rare book world = I hope he had a really good show.

After the fair, Bob and I looked in a few stores on Central Ave. and then spent an hour at least in Haslam's Used Books store. How often do you see a used book store that has been around for 60 years? Haslam's carries used/rare books as well as used, new and remaindered books, cards,etc. It was an enjoyable experience and the store was busy with about 5 people in line to checkout when I left. Hopefully they will be able to stay in business for another 60 years - I love success!

Our weather is nice, cone on down to FL and visit some of the used book stores on the western side of the state. And for the ladies: there are some great upscale clothing consignment shops in St. Petersburg, Sarasota and, of course, Naples!
