The Dutch periodical Wendingen was dedicated to architecture and related arts, and closely affiliated with the architectural society Amicitia et Architectura. It first appeared in 1918 and publication continued through 1931 with various interruptions. Each issue had a unique cover design by a contemporary (graphic) artist, and was dedicated to a specific theme.

This issue, number 6 of year 2 (1919) is dedicated to architecture and contains, among others, an article on the recently deceased Austrian artists Koloman Moser, a discussion of the Ballets Russes, and a commentary on the work of Frank Lloyd Wright and other contemporary architects with illustrations of the Coonley and Dana residences, interior designs by Saarinen, and a bank building by Lars Sonck and Valter Jung. The cover illustration for this issue was done by Johan Luger.
