The layout features a large header with the year "1899" set in an elaborately decorated panel that blends organic and geometric motifs, topped with floral embellishments. Below this, the month "Januari" is prominently displayed.The days of the week are arranged horizontally at the top of the main section, each inside its own box, starting with "Zondag" (Sunday) and ending with "Zaterdag" (Saturday). The dates are set within rectangular cells organized in a grid, with Sundays highlighted in red to signify their significance as non-working days.The entire calendar is enclosed within a border filled with a lush pattern of intertwining leaves and tendrils, interspersed with small, red berries, lending a naturalistic yet structured frame to the piece. The corners of the border feature clusters of leaves, emphasizing a harmonious blend of nature and artistry.
