J.M. Meulenhoff

J.M. Meulenhoff was founded in 1895 by Johannes Marius Meulenhoff as an import book business in Amsterdam. By 1904, it had incorporated as Meulenhoff & Co., and by 1916, the import division and the publishing house had been split into separate entities. In 1937 — just two years after this map was likely published — Johannes Marius was succeeded as director by his son John Meulenhoff (1906–1978). The firm went on to become one of the Netherlands’ most significant literary publishers, eventually merging into what is today Meulenhoff Boekerij.
