Ex libris van Wim Voet 1878 - 1940

This Ex Libris, designed by Elias Voet Jr. in the late 19th or early 20th century, features a stylized winged figure with the inscription "Wim.Voet" below. The design incorporates a bookshelf motif, a recurring theme in bookplates. This type of artwork, common in the early 20th century, served as a personal identifier for book owners, signifying their ownership and reflecting their individual tastes and interests. The work's graphic style, characterized by clear lines and decorative elements, is typical of the Art Nouveau period, with a distinct sense of geometric precision and symmetry.
