Headpiece with riders in 'Art and Society'

For the book 'Kunst en samenleving' (an adaptation by Jan Veth of Walter Crane's book 'The Claims of Decorative Art', 1892), Gerrit Willem Dijsselhof designed a number of head vignettes. Both in subject, representation and execution they show similarities with some of the prints by Escher shown here. Although these riders overlap, this work strongly recalls his 'Horseman'.
