Drukkerij Kotting. Straatbiljetten 1909 - 1913

Arnold van Roessel's "Drukkerij Kotting. Straatbiljetten" is a striking example of early 20th century poster art. The poster, created between 1909 and 1913, features a man in traditional clothing, likely a printer, using a printing press to create street tickets. The use of bold colors, particularly the man's red hat and clothing, draws the viewer's eye to the scene and emphasizes the importance of Kotting's printing services. The poster reflects the growing role of advertising and commercial printing in the early 20th century. It exemplifies the Art Nouveau style, prevalent in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, with its focus on organic forms, decorative elements, and bold typography.
