Ontwerpen voor advertenties van drogisterij Het Oranje Kruis en drogisterij Het Groene Kruis 1884 - 1952

These two designs by Reinier Willem Petrus de Vries, dating back to 1884-1952, are sketches for advertisements for the Dutch drugstores "Het Oranje Kruis" and "Het Groene Kruis". Both designs feature a cross with an inscription around it, a mortar and pestle, and flames, all rendered in a graphic style. These designs are representative of the early 20th-century advertising style in the Netherlands, showcasing a combination of symbolic imagery and clear lettering. The use of color, with the orange and green cross symbolizing the respective stores, further emphasizes the visual appeal and brand identity.
