Joop Geesink was a Dutch TV producer and puppet film animator, best known for creating ‘Rick de Kikker’ (1966-1968) and his signature character ‘Loeki de Leeuw’ (1972-2004), who livened up countless commercial TV breaks. He headed his own Dollywood studio, which was often in close association with the Marten Toonder Studios. However, he was also a comic artist.

![europe as queen]()
Out of stockAn uncommon map of Europe in the shape of a Queen after the same image published by Munster in 1588. Europa as Queen is the map-like depiction of the European continent as a Queen. Made popular in the 1500s, the map shows Europe standing upright, with the Iberian Peninsula forming her crowned head, and Bohemia her heart. During the late 16th Century, a few map makers created these really interesting map images, wherein countries and continents were given human or animal forms. This example was published in Cosmorama Pittorico, Milan 1850. The description on verso explain, curiously, that the Singolar Carta d’Europa (strange map of Europe) shows surely King Charles V.
