Ontwerp voor de voorkant van een boekband met bloemmotief 1874 - 1945

This design for a book cover, created between 1874 and 1945 by Dutch artist Carel Adolph Lion Cachet, showcases a stylized floral motif. The intricate design features a central stem, flanked by symmetrical, stylized flower shapes. The graphic nature of the design, executed in black ink on paper, reflects the influence of Art Nouveau, a movement popular in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The design is currently housed at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam. This work, likely intended for a book cover, exemplifies Cachet's interest in decorative art and the integration of stylized nature into graphic design.
