Paaskaart van Philip van Praag voor 1938 1938

This woodcut print, created in 1938 by Dutch artist Philip van Praag, is a striking example of graphic design. The composition features a stylized flame with the year "1938" incorporated, signifying the New Year. The surrounding text, "Vrede en Vreugde in 't Leven" ("Peace and joy in life") and "Dat Nieuwe Jaar u Moge Geven, Geluk en..." ("May the new year give you happiness and...") suggests a hopeful message for the year ahead. This design, with its stark contrasts and bold lines, is typical of van Praag's artistic style, which often reflected his political and social views.
