. English: This is an image of an ex libris from a book belonging to Jan de Vries (11 February 1890–23 July 1964). (Specifically the copy of Kaarle Krohn, Magische Ursprungsrunen der Finnen, trans. by Otto Bussenius, FF Communications, 52 (Helsinki: Suomalainen tiedeakatemia, 1924) held in the Brotherton Library, University of Leeds.) The bird top-left may be a northern gannet (Morus bassanus), known in Dutch as 'jan-van-gent' and thus conceivably a pun on De Vries's name. 1 January 1900. Unknown 155 De Vries ex libris
