Ontwerp voor drukwerk voor Boekbinderij der Vakschool voor Typografie, uitgave augustus 1916 1874 - 1945

This design by Carel Adolph Lion Cachet, created between 1874 and 1945, is a striking example of graphic design from the early 20th century. The artwork features a bold black-and-white composition with a central motif that resembles a stylized letter "N" and a geometric pattern of lines, swirls, and shapes. The inscription "BOEKBINDERIJ DER VAKSCHOOL VOOR TYPOGRAFIE" and the date "AUGUSTUS 1916" indicate the artwork was intended for a publication related to the bookbinding department of the Vocational School for Typography. The intricate design and the focus on text suggest an affinity for Art Nouveau and the emerging principles of graphic design, emphasizing the artistic and functional qualities of typography and bookbinding. The artwork, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, offers a glimpse into the history of design and the intersection of art and craft.
