Ornamentale boekdrukstempel voor een boekband 1878 - 1944

This design for a bookbinding stamp was created by Samuel Jessurun de Mesquita between 1878 and 1944. The intricate design is composed of geometric shapes, including circles, ovals, and lines, arranged in a symmetrical pattern. The artist's interest in geometric patterns is evident in this work, showcasing the influence of Art Deco and early Modernist movements. This piece, now part of the Rijksmuseum collection, exemplifies the artistic mastery of Jessurun de Mesquita and his contributions to the world of graphic design.
