A short but informative text, but what struck me most was the power of her graphics in the book which I now have for sale at www.ftn-books.com

Another nice quality is that she uses the same pictorial language as her contemporaries but gives a twist of her own to them. Left Pagée and right Charlotte Mutsaers

here is the Pagee publication which is now for sale.
