Ontwerp voor een oorkonde 1915

"Ontwerp voor een oorkonde" is a handwritten document by Dutch artist Reinier Willem Petrus de Vries from 1915. The artwork is a certificate or diploma, as indicated by the title, which was likely intended for the "Vereeniging fer bevordering van de belangen des Boekhandels" (Association for the Promotion of the Interests of the Book Trade). The document is presented in elegant cursive script and appears to be a commendation for someone named "U.A.C. Pruost" who served the association. The artwork exemplifies the artistic style of the early 20th century and reflects the focus on elegant and decorative handwriting, which was common at the time.
