Metal box with six colours in 5 ml tubes and historical Jan Wellem print on the inside lid and historical owl on the outside lid. Includes all three special colours Solferine, Gamboge gum and Cassler brown.
Jan Wellem, actually Johann Wilhelm II of the Palatinate (1658-1716), Elector of the Palatinate, who lived from 1658 to 1716 and made Düsseldorf a cultural centre, was known for his magnificent court, his promotion of art and culture and his populist manner, which earned him the nickname ‘Jan Wellem’. This is probably why the art-loving Elector was the inspiration for the HORADAM watercolour travel case of the 1930s. We have reissued the box according to the historical original and urned it into a collector’s treasure with two special prints.
