Cornelis Jetses

From Eline Rotterdam
Eline valitsi tämän Cornelis Jetsesin kortin minulle, koska toivon taidekortteja, postimerkkikin on hieno.

Cornelis Jetses (1873-1955) tunnetaan parhaiten hänen yksityiskohtaisista ja tyypillisesti hollantilaisista piirroksista. Hän kuvitti mm. oppikirjoja, koulujen opetustauluja ja kirjojen kansia.

Kuvat kertovat paljon 1800-luvun lopun ja 1900-luvun alun elämästä Hollannissa.

Cornelis Jetses  (1873-1955) is best known for his detailed, typically Dutch, illustrations in textbooks, school boards and historic prints. He also worked as a book cover designer. A very comprehensive and nostalgic work for people interested in Holland at the end of the 19th and the beginning of the 20th centuries
