Kunstenaar en samenleving : de plaats van den kunstenaar in zijn volk en zijn tijd van 500 voor Christus tot op onze dagen
A Dutch cultural-history essay by the poet Carel Steven Adama van Scheltema tracing the artist's place in society from 500 BC to 1922, published in Rotterdam by W.L. & J. Brusse for a general reading public. The chapter plates are stark black-ground woodcuts, monogrammed, in which angular robed figures, scribes at sloping desks, a rider, a domed cathedral and a canal-side tower are cut in flat white lines against solid black, usable as high-contrast silhouettes, borders and figure vignettes.
