This is a book cover, *Sluitvignet met sieraad* (1893-1894), created by Dutch artist Gerrit Willem Dijsselhof (1866-1924), now at the Rijksmuseum. The cover art features a decorative design that is likely a bookplate or *vignet*. The bookplate design may have been influenced by Art Nouveau or Arts and Crafts style, common at this time. Dijsselhof was a Dutch painter and graphic artist. The cover's small size suggests this is a book of poetry or a short collection.
