De satire in de Nederlandsche kunst der middeleeuwen : door P.H. van Moerkerken
A Dutch study of satire in medieval Netherlandish art, written by P.H. van Moerkerken and published in Amsterdam in 1904, aimed at art historians and readers of Dutch cultural history. Its figures are numbered plates of line drawings: a figure playing a stringed instrument within curling foliage, a pair of courting figures in a lozenge frame, a sea creature with rippling waves, and a knight with a spear riding a strange bird with a fanned tail. For designers the spare linework, curling vine borders and marginal grotesques suggest a restrained medieval satirical vocabulary.
