Graphics 1900 contains approximately 150 exceptional designs from the turn of the 20th century. These designs were made for the decoration of textiles, but are generic in the sense that they are typical of a graphic style from that period. The style represented by these designs is very ‘modern’ in nature. It has more in common with the styles that emerged in the 1930s than with the Art Nouveau style that was in vogue at the time they were made.

These lush floral images, lovingly reproduced from a hard-to-find edition of a Belle Epoque classic, were compiled by a pioneer in Art Nouveau design. The 466 color images feature vibrant, naturalistic motifs, stylized borders, panels, medallions, and more by M. P. Verneuil and other masters of the genre, including Bourgeot, Gaudin, Hervegh, and Schlumberger.
