Voorste schutblad 1839

This 1839 engraving by Johannes Tavenraat is a title page for a catalogue for W.J. van Dosterzee's art supply shop, "Magazijn van Schilder-Teken- en Kantoorbehoeften" in Rotterdam. The shop sold a variety of art supplies, including brushes, paints, and engraving plates. The image is dominated by an elaborate logo featuring an oval with a palette, brushes, and a quill pen set on a table. The artwork is a unique glimpse into the 19th-century art market and a testament to the artist's skill in decorative illustration.
