Ontwerp voor een oorkonde 1912

"Ontwerp voor een oorkonde" (Design for a Diploma), created in 1912 by Reinier Willem Petrus de Vries, showcases the artist's unique calligraphic style. This design, likely intended for a diploma or certificate, features a formal, elegant script with decorative flourishes and swirling lines. The use of lined paper as the background further emphasizes the document's official nature. The text is in Dutch, possibly related to the "Bookhandels" (book trade) and a meeting held in 1912. This design is a testament to the artist's skill in combining functionality and aesthetics, creating a visually engaging yet purposeful piece of graphic design.
