Ter Herinering aan het 40 jarig Regeeringsjubileum van H. M. Koningin Wilhelmina 1898 - 6 september 1938. 1938

This commemorative artwork, created by V. Mantgem in 1938, celebrates the 40th anniversary of Queen Wilhelmina's reign in the Netherlands. The design is a formal arrangement of text and heraldry, featuring the Queen's initials "W" surmounted by a crown and surrounded by a decorative frame. The inscription highlights the year of her ascension, 1898, and the date of the jubilee, September 6, 1938. The bottom border displays a series of heraldic shields representing the provinces of the Netherlands, symbolizing the unified nation under Queen Wilhelmina's rule. This artwork is a prime example of Dutch graphic design during the late Art Deco period, showcasing a combination of geometric patterns and traditional national symbols.
