Jan Toorop, Dutch-Chinese born in the former Dutch East Indies, carried the banner for Symbolist painting in late nineteenth century Holland along with Thorn Prikker and R.N.Roland Holst. Much as the heliogravures reflect his delicate style, it is the pictorial cover that typifies the best of Dutch Art Nouveau.
