This 19th-century design for a course advertisement created by Dutch graphic artist Reinier de Vries features an elaborate, stylized “F” that was likely intended to represent the name "Holthuizen," the institution for which the course was advertised. The stylized script, the placement of the institution's address, and the emphasis on the course's full training program reflect popular typographic trends of the Art Nouveau movement, which was prevalent in Europe during this period.
