Ontwerp voor een ex libris met monogram en leeuwen 1874 - 1945

"Ontwerp voor een ex libris met monogram en leeuwen" (Design for a bookplate with monogram and lions) is a black and white graphic design created by Carel Adolph Lion Cachet between 1874 and 1945. The artwork features a symmetrical design with eight lions and a monogram in the center. This design likely served as an ex libris, a small design used by collectors to mark their books. The use of lions, a powerful symbol of strength and royalty, is a common element in ex libris designs. The simple, yet elegant style of the artwork reflects the graphic design principles of the era, drawing inspiration from historical decorative elements and the prevailing Art Nouveau style.
