Bandontwerp voor: Ina Boudier-Bakker, Machten, 1902 1902

Reinier Willem Petrus de Vries designed this book cover for Ina Boudier-Bakker's "Machten" in 1902. The cover features a simple design with a decorative border and a floral motif. The minimalist design aesthetic of the book cover reflects the early 20th century's artistic tendencies toward simplicity and functionality. The use of a delicate floral motif and a geometric border indicates an influence from the Art Nouveau style, which was popular at the time. De Vries' work is known for its elegant and sophisticated use of line and form, evident in this book cover design. This design, while simple, skillfully elevates the book's visual appeal, making it a valuable example of early 20th-century book design.
