The following pages show a set of Dutch kite cards which I possess.
Translations are by Google Translate, post-edited by me.
This kite card pack has been possible by making use of the archive of the magazine VLlEGER.
We would like to thank all the photographers for their contributions. Unfortunately, it has not been possible to find out the name of the photographer of every picture.
Theo Beerends Herman v.d. Broek, Marc Cornelissen, Nico Laan, Jan Pit, Michèle Velthuizen, John Verheij and ... ?
The pack of cards gives only a small example of what kite shapes are possible. Many famous or classic kites have not been featured. What there is here is a fairly random selection from the magazine VLlEGER.
The magazine celebrates its 25th year and a fresh team is taking over from the editors of the magazine. The 'old' editorial board hopes that by the cards the hobby of kiting will gain popularity with children and grandchildren.
Editors: John Verheij, Theo Beerends, Nico Laan, Wlm Tigchelaar, Nop Velthuizen.
