Couperus and his wife took many trips in Europe and Asia, and he later wrote a series of travel books about those trips that came out every week. Louis Marie-Anne Couperus was born on June 10, 1863, at Mauritskade 11 in The Hague, Netherlands. She came from an Indo family that had been in the Dutch East Indies for a long time and was part of the colonial landed class. He was the eleventh and youngest child of Catharina Geertruida Reynst (1829-1893) and John Ricus Couperus (1816-1902). John Ricus Couperus was a well-known colonial official, lawyer, and landheer or lord of the private domain (particuliere land) of Tjikopo in Java. He was a great-grandson of Governor of Malacca Abraham Couperus (1752-1813) and Governor of Ambon Willem Jacob Cranssen (1762-1821). His father was related to them through a female line that goes back to the middle of the 18th century.
