Ontwerp voor: Diploma voor trouwe dienst bij de Nederlandsche Gist- en Spiritusfabriek 1924

This design for a diploma by Richard Nicolaüs Roland Holst, dated 1924, is an example of Art Nouveau style and is on display at the Rijksmuseum. It features a central figure, likely a worker or employee, holding a laurel wreath, symbolizing recognition and achievement. The decorative framework includes the company name “Nederlandsche Gisten Spiritusfabriek”, the word “Delft”, and a stylized caduceus, suggesting a connection to the city and potentially to the company’s industry. This elaborate design reflects the era's appreciation for craftsmanship and symbolic representation.
