Visitekaartje van drukkerij en boekhandel De Malander-Rynvaen te Ronse c. 1850

This is a business card for the printing and bookselling company "De Malander-Rynvaen" from Ronse, created by artist J. Bevernaege around 1850. The design features a classical-inspired scene with a female figure in a seated pose, potentially representing the Muse of literature, surrounded by children and books, symbolizing the company’s work. This charming vignette, framed by elaborate decorative borders, showcases the company's commitment to knowledge and the art of printing. The artwork, measuring 114 mm x 175 mm, is a fine example of early 19th-century printmaking and commercial design.
