This artwork by Dutch artist Gerrit Willem Dijsselhof (1866-1924), titled "Ex libris en een ontwerp voor een monogram" and created between 1876 and 1924, showcases a collection of bookplate designs featuring a recurring monogram of the letter "H" encircled by a decorative frame. The designs incorporate elements of Art Nouveau style, with their intricate floral motifs and flowing lines. The inclusion of the phrase "comprendre c'est le reflet de créer" suggests a philosophical or literary theme. Now housed in the Rijksmuseum, the artwork provides a glimpse into Dijsselhof's artistic practice and his interest in the design of bookplates.
