In the 1960s Nutroma offered the possibility of getting free tableware from Villeroy & Boch. On this set, Roodenburg’s black and white drawings of Amsterdam cityscapes were depicted.
Roodenburg was a member of several artists’ associations, including Arti et Amicitiae and Sint Lucas in Amsterdam and Pulchri Studio in The Hague. The book “H.E. Roodenburg (1895-1987): topographical etcher” gives an overview of Roodenburg’s graphic work.
