Publisher's Description
As
director
of
the
Hagedoorn
Construction
Group,
Coen
Hagedoorn
was
especially
proud
of
his
staff.
He
wanted
to
show
his
appreciation,
so
he
had
them
immortalized
by
photographers
and
painters.
Over
the
years,
this
grew
into
a
tradition
and
provided
the
company
with
a
wide-ranging
portrait
collection.
When
Coen
Snr.
retired,
his
sons
Jan,
Coen
and
daughter
Hannah
took
over.
The
family
business
continued
and
with
it
the
portrait
tradition.
In
2009,
photographer
Bert
Teunissen
was
asked
to
photograph
staff
of
the
Hagedoorn
Construction
Group.
The
complete
series
of
photographs
was
turned
into
a
permanent
exhibition
in
the
company’s
new
showroom.
Part
of
the
series
is
shown
in
this
publication,
which
has
been
designed
to
resemble
a
modern
variation
of
old
Dutch
business
books.
The
book
consists
of
136
pages
and
is
published
by
the
Coen
Hagedoorn
Construction
Group.
Design
by
Erik
Kessels
and
Sophie
Gerrard
at
KesselsKramer.
The
book
is
printed
in
duotone
by
Calff
&
Meischke
in
Amsterdam
and
hand
bound
in
Japanese
style
yarn
by
Geertsen
of
Nijmegen.
