Korte geschiedenis der Nederlandsche rijdende artillerie 1893

This book, *Korte geschiedenis der Nederlandsche rijdende artillerie*, by Michiel Jan Egbert Viruly van Pouderoijen, is a study in the interplay between text and structure. At first glance, the cover may seem unremarkable, yet its form reveals a careful consideration of semiotic representation. The title, rendered in a faded typeface, is framed by subtle design elements that speak to the book's historical context. The textured surface, marked by foxing, isn't just decay—it's a visual encoding of time. This effect softens the regimented layout, hinting at the narratives and histories contained within. The visual components create a dialogue between past and present, inviting the reader to explore the cultural codes embedded in the Dutch artillery. By challenging conventional presentation, the book destabilizes fixed meanings, opening it up to new interpretations of space, time, and representation.
