Design for the periodical Múzeumi és Könyvtári Értesítő (Museum and Library Bulletin)

Among the works of Henrik Darilek, there are three sketches made for the coverpage of the periodical Muzeumi és Könyvtári Értesítő (Museum and Library Gazette). All the three are vertical rectangles, following the form of the gazette yet Darilek managed to create innovative variants for the headline, the colophon, the pictoral decoration and arrangement. All the three sketches are drawn with clear lines and composition, using decorative, stylized elements.

The surface of the third sketch is defined by the connection between a larger and a smaller square. The upper, larger one bears the headline in several rows, enriched with a complicated, figurái decoration. In the left corner of this picture there are two standing figures one of them is the Goddess Minerva with her attributes (a book in her left, and Zeus' shield at her feet). Since she represents comprehensive knowledge, the Globe also refers to her. There is an altar to the left from the centre of the picture, with sacrificial smoke. The right half of the picture also shows two figures: a winged bull with a bearded, human head - a motif from Assyrian arts - and a naked female figure holding a Nike statue in her hand. The smaller square at the bottom contains the colophon.
