Ex libris van Annie Voet 1878 - 1940

This is an Ex Libris, a bookplate designed by Elias Voet jr., for his wife Annie Voet in 1878. It features a stylized bookshelf with books and an open book below, with a lit candle in a goblet placed upon it. The inscription "Inter folia fructus" ("Among leaves, fruits") suggests a connection between knowledge and reward. The design is characteristic of the Art Nouveau style popular in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, evident in its flowing lines and decorative elements. The image is a testament to the artistic skill of Elias Voet jr., who was a renowned wood engraver.
