Ex libris voor Jeltje de Bosch Kemper c. 1900

This ex libris, or bookplate, was designed by Gerrit Willem Dijsselhof, a Dutch artist known for his illustrations and decorative work, around 1900. The design features a heraldic crest with two birds facing each other, a motif often used in bookplates to signify ownership and pride. The inscription "Ex Libris," meaning "From the library of," along with the owner's initials "JB," identifies the book's owner as Jeltje de Bosch Kemper. The intricate details of the design and the use of black and white are characteristic of Dijsselhof's style, contributing to the artistic value of this small but significant work.
