Advertentie van C.B. Schneider Behangselpapieren 1896 - 1935

This woodcut print by Dutch artist Mathieu Lauweriks is an advertisement for C.B. Schneider Behangselpapieren, a wallpaper company based in Amsterdam. The design features two simplified human figures, likely representing workers, framed by a geometric border with a pattern of interlacing lines. Lauweriks, known for his Art Nouveau style, used bold lines and a graphic simplicity in this design, typical of the movement’s focus on stylization and decorative elements. The piece exemplifies the Art Nouveau aesthetic in its bold and geometric forms, contrasting with the delicate and flowing floral motifs that are often associated with the style.
