Art Nouveau Decorative Ornament

Painstakingly reproduced from a hard-to-find German volume, Neuer Zierat Nach Altem Stil ("New Ornaments in the Old Style"), this collection features 157 black-and-white illustrations. Its conventional motifs — cupids, urns, armor, wreaths, and fountains — are enlivened by Art Nouveau stylings that bring a fresh vitality to classic designs.
