This is a book cover design by Richard Nicolaüs Roland Holst, created before 1893 for Louis Couperus' novel *Majesteit*. The design is a prime example of Art Nouveau, with its intricate floral patterns and stylized lettering. The cover features a central motif of crossed swords and a bell, suggesting the book's themes of power and conflict. The surrounding border is filled with stylized plant life, including sunflowers, flowers, and a decorative sun. This design is currently held in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, Netherlands.
