Onyx Journal Celebrates the Harmony Between Art and Science



Our Onyx journal proudly showcases a remarkable goatskin leather book binding crafted in Amsterdam in 1835 by Friedrich W.J.C. Kolb. This exquisite binding was originally designed to hold a Latin oration on the physiology of plants by the renowned Dutch botanist Willem Hendrik de Vriese. De Vriese, a distinguished member of the Royal Dutch Institute of Sciences, Literature, and Fine Arts, was instrumental in naming numerous species of plants belonging to the Asterales order (Asterids).



Today, this significant binding can be found in the KB, National Library of the Netherlands, which was established in 1798 with the noble mission of celebrating the written word and sharing the rich creativity and innovation of the Netherlands with the world. The KB, National Library of the Netherlands, stands as a testament to the enduring value of preserving and disseminating knowledge, culture, and heritage for generations to come.
