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 cultured readership. Its pages mix black-and-white reproductions of drawings, etchings and interior decoration, including a rounded vignette of a half-timbered manor among trees, a decorative border of stylized foliage, an etched orchard beside a brick wall, and a hall with muralled panels and carved wood. A designer might take from these the flat, stylized botanical ornament and the Art Nouveau interior treatment of the period.
