Elsevier's geïllustreerd maandschrift
Elsevier's geïllustreerd maandschrift is a Dutch illustrated monthly magazine published in Amsterdam in 1891, covering art and Dutch literature for a general cultivated readership. Its pictures are reproductions of paintings and drawings: a dim head study of a woman, an interior with a hearth and hanging cloth, a woman in a white cap walking among tall trees in charcoal, and a flat farm track past thatched cottages. A designer might take from them a restrained tonal palette of grey, soft shadow, and quiet rural subject matter.
