Bandontwerp voor: Hoe? En wat?, 1905 1905

This 1905 design by Reinier de Vries is a striking example of Art Nouveau typography. The graphic design features bold black and white patterns and a stylized font for the title "Hoe? En Wat?" The repeating geometric shapes and organic curves are characteristic of the Art Nouveau style, often used in decorative art and advertising. This design was likely intended for a publication or advertisement for H.M. Meulenhoff, an Amsterdam publisher. The design's striking use of black and white makes it stand out and reflects the Art Nouveau era's interest in graphic design and visual communication.
