Reinier Willem Petrus de Vries was a Dutch artist, designer, illustrator, and teacher with a close connection to graphic arts and applied design. In 1905 he became a teacher at the Vakschool voor Typografie in Utrecht, a specialist school for the printing and typographic trades. This 1912 design in pencil on paper was made for the school’s lustrumboek, an anniversary publication.
