Elsevier's geïllustreerd maandschrift
Elsevier's geïllustreerd maandschrift is an illustrated Dutch monthly magazine published in Amsterdam in 1891, covering art and Dutch literature for a general cultivated readership. Its plates are rotated black-and-white reproductions of paintings and drawings: an interior with figures at tables, a group of seated and standing men in a hall, several small architectural views of buildings framed in a grid, and a flat landscape of a herd crossing open ground beneath trees. A designer might take from them the dense crosshatched engraving texture and the clear compositional layering of interiors and distant landscapes.
