Oorkonde bij het aanbieden van een portret van Cornelis Marius Kan geschilderd door Pieter de Josselin de Jong before 1911

This Art Nouveau artwork by Gust van de Wall Perné (1877-1911) commemorates the presentation of a portrait of Cornelis Marius Kan, a Dutch professor, in 1902. The design features intricate swirling lines, stylized bells, and gold stars, characteristic of the Art Nouveau movement. The central text describes the event and highlights Kan's accomplishments as a professor of geography and the Dutch East Indies. The presence of the world map at the bottom emphasizes Kan's work on geography and the importance of this field in the early 20th century.
