Ontwerp voor een diploma van de Vereniging ter Bevordering van de Belangen des Boekhandels 1909

This 1909 design for a diploma by Reinier Willem Petrus de Vries for the Association for the Advancement of the Book Trade interests in the Netherlands is an example of art nouveau lettering. De Vries's art nouveau design incorporates organic, flowing lines and intricate details, reminiscent of natural forms. The design is composed primarily of text, meticulously crafted with elaborate flourishes and decorative elements. The inscription, likely honoring a member of the book trade, reflects the importance of craftsmanship and artistic expression within the field.
