Biljet voor Kunst Zij Ons Doel in Haarlem 1899

This 1899 woodcut by Wijnand Otto Jan Nieuwenkamp, titled "Biljet voor Kunst Zij Ons Doel in Haarlem," is an invitation to a public event. The image features a decorative letter 'K' with stylized feather-like accents framed above a simple, partially ruined brick structure. The structure is set against a backdrop of the city of Haarlem, with buildings visible in the distance. The text below advertises a gathering of the "Haagsche Kunstkring" (The Hague Art Circle) in the "Bovenzaal" (upper hall) of the Vereeniging (Association). This small format, but meticulously detailed, piece demonstrates Nieuwenkamp's commitment to promoting art and its appreciation through a public forum.
