300 Art Nouveau Designs and Motifs in Full Color

Here is a nearly limitless copyright-free sourcebook of authentic Art Nouveau design inspiration. Three hundred designs and motifs have been carefully selected for their ageless ornamental attractiveness from the "Dekorative Vorbilder," an extremely rare early 20th-century stylebook, by noted artist and designer Carol Belanger Grafton. She has chosen 44 full-page plates, featuring virtually every decorative element including borders, panels, scrolls, cartouches, frames, head- and tailpieces and dingbats. Each is reproduced in full color - soft blues, muted olives, subtle lavenders, salmon pinks and pearly grays. An extensive range of motifs are represented - tangled ivy vines and voluptuous floral sprays of tulips and lilies; Piscean fish, parrots and peacocks; panels of geometric expression and window panes; and sultry women with flowing tresses.
