This 1910 *ex libris* (bookplate) by Dutch artist Carel Adolph Lion Cachet is a striking example of Art Nouveau design. The central element of the design is a stylized "J" for "Juliana", the name of the steamship for which this bookplate was created. The "J" is framed by a symmetrical arrangement of stylized floral and animal motifs in a black and white color scheme, adding to the dynamic and decorative nature of the piece. It currently resides in the Rijksmuseum, showcasing the elegance of Dutch design in the early 20th century.
