Menukaart voor een diner ter ere van het 25-jarig huwelijk van J. de Lange en M. de Lange-Schols, met portret van het echtpaar 1930

This is a menu card designed for a dinner celebrating the 25th wedding anniversary of J. de Lange and M. de Lange-Schols, likely created in 1930. The card is dominated by a formal arrangement, where typography and image intersect. Above the event details is a framed photograph of the couple, presented in an oval, disrupting the rectangular format of the card. This stylistic choice focuses attention on the portrait, suggesting the individual faces of the subjects are more important than the formal elements. The text below is arranged in a structured hierarchy, which leads the eye downwards. The formal arrangement emphasizes the significance of the occasion and its participants. The artist manipulates text size and placement to signal a structural hierarchy. The card is an interesting intersection of personal celebration and formal design.
