Ontwerp voor tekst Tweede Bedrijf met ornamenten 1908 - 1937

This design for a title page by Bernard Willem Wierink, dating between 1908 and 1937, showcases elaborate ornamentation typical of the Art Nouveau movement. The intricate details, including stylized floral motifs and heraldic symbols, create a visually rich and decorative framework for the text. The use of gold and silver accents adds a touch of elegance and grandeur to the design, reflecting the Dutch artist's mastery of craftsmanship. This piece, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, exemplifies Wierink's ability to blend decorative elements with functional typography, making it a valuable example of Art Nouveau book design.
