Blad 11 uit Stamboek van de leerlingen der Koloniale School voor Meisjes en Vrouwen te 's-Gravenhage deel II (1930-1949) Possibly 1930 - 1937

This is page 11 from the register of students from the Colonial School for Girls and Women in The Hague, dating from between 1930 and 1949. The page’s structure is defined by its grid-like composition, dividing the information into neat, orthogonal sections. The dominant feature here is the hand-written text which varies in pressure, weight, and direction. It is structured by vertical and horizontal lines, which create a visual rhythm across the page, and this provides a framework for the various entries, including the photographic portraits. These small, rectangular images, punctuate the handwritten text, adding an additional layer of visual complexity. The use of black ink on aged paper creates a contrast, emphasizing the graphic quality of the writing and lending a historical depth to the document. Overall, the piece’s organization creates a semiotic system of signs and symbols that are readable and functional.
