Reclameboekje voor lessen in Versieringskunst door R.W.P. de Vries Jr. en een apothekersetiket voor levertraanemulsie 1884 - 1952

This is a set of two works by Reinier Willem Petrus de Vries, a Dutch graphic artist known for his Art Nouveau designs. The first piece is a booklet cover for decorative art lessons, featuring a stylised Art Nouveau design with intricate floral motifs. The second piece is a label for cod liver oil emulsion, showcasing two stylized fish flanking a bottle with a decorative umbrella-like lid. De Vries’ distinct Art Nouveau style is evident in both designs, characterized by flowing lines, natural forms, and a sense of dynamism. These works demonstrate De Vries’ versatility and talent for incorporating Art Nouveau aesthetics into everyday objects.
