During this 32nd edition of the antiquarian fair in Mechelen, a unique mini exhibition will also take place, organized around the theme “1573 - 550 years of printing in the Netherlands”. There will be several showcases highlighting this historical event, featuring some incunabula from the Netherlands and possibly some unique pieces from elsewhere. The aim is to display as many works as possible from private collections in Belgium and the Netherlands, making this mini-exhibition particularly unique.

The Association of Antwerp Bibliophiles is organizing this event in collaboration with the Dutch Society of Bibliophiles and the project “IMPRESSVM. The cradle of Flemish printing” from the Heritage Libraries.

Additionally, there is intensive collaboration with organizations such as the Tiele Foundation, the Flemish Working Group for Book History, Friends of the Museum Plantin-Moretus, and the Dutch Book Historical Society.
