Ontwerp voor een tekstkader voor het Gedenkboek Hilversum 1424-1924 1924

This 1924 design by Reinier de Vries is a preliminary sketch for a commemorative book frame celebrating the history of Hilversum, a city in the Netherlands, from 1424 to 1924. The intricately detailed frame features an ornate design with a coat of arms at the top and a space for text in the center. The artist's pencil lines on gridded paper showcase the meticulous planning involved in creating such an elaborate frame for a significant historical publication. The frame's design is reminiscent of historical printing and manuscript styles, making it a suitable visual element for a book commemorating the city's long history.
