Ontwerp voor de boekomslag van de ingenaaide editie van 'Kunst en samenleving' 1893

This 1893 design for a book cover by Gerrit Willem Dijsselhof (1866-1924), titled "Ontwerp voor de boekomslag van de ingenaaide editie van 'Kunst en samenleving'" is a striking example of the Art Nouveau style. Dijsselhof's design features elaborate, flowing lines and organic motifs, characteristic of the movement, which emphasized nature and the decorative arts. The cover, in the collection of the Rijksmuseum, highlights the intricate and often symbolic nature of Art Nouveau book design.
