Koningin Eenoog

Koningin Eenoog is a photographic work published in 1986 by De Bezige Bij, featuring a curated selection of photographs taken by the Dutch author and photographer Willem Frederik Hermans between 1948 and 1985. The collection includes images from his time as a lumber inspector in Canada and Newfoundland (starting in the summer of 1948) to his later years in Paris and Leipzig. The book is preceded by an introduction by Hermans himself, while the back section contains a reflective essay by Frans A. Janssen, which was originally published in Bzzlletin. The first and only printing of this edition appeared in September 1986 with a print run of 2,915 copies. It was released concurrently with an exhibition of Hermans' photographs at the Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam.
