PTL was a Dutch avant-garde periodical devoted to literature and the fine arts, founded in Arnhem in the summer of 1963 by Herman de Vries and Laurens D. Vancrevel.
This special edition binds together two issues (Nos. 3 and 4), featuring a memorable array of international contributions, including Anaïs Nin’s Dutch translation of A Child Born Out of the Fog (originally published by Gemor Press in 1947), poems by Hans Mils, and original collages and illustrations by Herman de Vries, Victor C. Adèr-Laudy, Ben Jansen, and many others.
A true masterpiece of assemblage, this double issue of PTL perfectly distills the editors’ ambition for the journal to become “a reservoir and reception center for young literary artists”. During its brief run from 1963 to 1965, PTL published a total of five issues.
