Almost Without Words / Bijna zonder woorden by Bertram Adam Thomas Weihs (1919 - 1958 )

I have said it many times before: collecting cartoon books is fascinating. There is always something to discover: old cartoon books, new cartoon books, cartoonists...

Searching a book of the Dutch cartoonist "Joep Bertrams" (born in Roermond, Holland, 1946) I found a book by "Bertram", without s.  Bertram Adam Thomas Weihs (Salzburg 1919 - Voorschoten 1958) settled in 1938 in The Hague. He was a cartoonist, graphic designer, illustrator, and monumental artist.The title is "Bijna zonder woorden" (almost without words) and the book dates from 1956. There is an introduction by Simon Carmiggelt (1913-1987), a famous Dutch author. The cartoons in the book were drawn shortly after WWII in 1946-1947.

Unfortunately I couldn't find a picture of the artist. I found some pictures taken at his funeral in 1958, together with some other art.
