Ontwerp voor titelpagina voor: Stijn Streuvels, Reinaert de Vos, 1910 c. 1910

This is a design for the title page of a 1910 edition of “Reinaert de Vos” by Stijn Streuvels, created by Dutch artist Bernard Willem Wierink, c. 1910. The design features an arched frame at the top with two circles at its peak and an elaborate decorative border at the bottom. In the center, the artist depicts a group of animals, including a wolf, a fox, and a rabbit. The design suggests that the artist intended for the book to have a medieval or fairytale feel, which was fitting for the classic animal fable of “Reynard the Fox.” The drawing is a sketch for a title page, and it is currently housed at the Rijksmuseum.
