Kalenderblad voor juni 1899 1898

Theo Nieuwenhuis’s "Kalenderblad voor juni 1899," a calendar for June 1899, features a decorative, Art Nouveau style border of magnolia blossoms and leaves against a pale blue background. The central calendar grid is framed in a dark brown border and displays Dutch days of the week. Nieuwenhuis, a Dutch artist active in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, is known for his illustration work in the decorative style, including calendars, postcards, and book illustrations. This calendar, now in the Rijksmuseum, is an example of how Nieuwenhuis used his talent to bring the Art Nouveau style to everyday life.
