Ex libris van E.W. Moes 1893 - 1902

This is a woodblock print, or "ex libris" in Latin, designed by Dutch artist Antoon Derkinderen between 1893 and 1902. The "ex libris" was created for E.W. Moes, likely a collector or book owner, as a bookplate to mark their personal library. The intricate design features decorative borders and stylized lettering, characteristic of the Art Nouveau style, which was popular in Europe during this time period. This specific ex libris showcases Derkinderen's skill in incorporating both traditional printing techniques and stylistic innovations of the era.
