Affiche ter aankondiging van het tijdschrift 'De kroniek' Possibly 1895

This poster, created by Theo van Hoytema in 1895, advertises the Dutch weekly magazine "De Kroniek." The poster features three birds, possibly storks, standing on a branch of a tree in the foreground, amidst foliage, with the title and details of the magazine written in bold typeface in a black circle at the top of the poster. The stark contrast between the black and white illustrations and the bright yellow, red, and blue text creates a visually striking and effective advertisement, reflecting the Art Nouveau style popular at the time. This design, featuring graphic elements and bold text, is typical of the posters created in this period, showcasing the artistic evolution of the early 20th century. The poster is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam.
