Ontwerp voor een oorkonde van de Vereniging ter Bevordering van de Belangen des Boekhandels 1912

This design for a diploma was created by Dutch artist Reinier de Vries in 1912. The artwork features an ornate, handwritten text in black, red, and green ink, with a decorative border. The text is a document, written in Dutch, from the Board of the Association for the Promotion of Booksellers' Interests, celebrating a person's achievements in bookselling. This design, with its attention to detail and elegant lettering, reflects de Vries's skill as a calligrapher and his interest in decorative arts. The design provides an excellent example of Dutch graphic design from the early 20th century.
