Visitekaartje van Bureau voor Illustratie, Boek- en Sierkunst Mimosa 1884 - 1952

This small, rectangular artwork is a business card for the "Bureau voor Illustratie, Boek- en Sierkunst Mimosa" (Bureau for Illustration, Book and Decorative Art Mimosa), designed by Dutch artist Reinier Willem Petrus de Vries. The card features the name of the company in yellow lettering, with a decorative motif that resembles a stylised M, a likely reference to the "Mimosa" in the company's name. The card also includes the name of the representative, G. van Maastricht, along with contact information, in the typical format of a business card. The piece demonstrates de Vries's talent for graphic design and typography, and is representative of the artistic and design trends of the time.
