This is an advertisement for the stonemason H. Wegerif, created by the Dutch artist Mathieu Lauweriks. It is a design that was made between 1874-1935 and features a stylised Art Nouveau design with strong, geometric lines and sinuous, curling elements. The advertisement features a stylized bird or creature, decorative flourishes, and the text "H. Wegerif Apeldoorn. Specialiteit in marmeren en hardsteenen. Graf gedenktekene." These details all point to the Art Nouveau movement in the Netherlands, which was gaining momentum in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
