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.

The Great Exhibition at the Crystal Palace in London in 1851 was the first of a series of international exhibitions that have continued, in one form or another, to the present day. The content of these exhibitions gave nations and individual companies of the world the opportunity to display their specialised skills and present new ideas and products to a much wider public.

In this book, Jonathan Meyer looks at major international exhibitions held during the nineteenth century and focuses on the important changes taking place at this time, in both society and design. He examines the enormous impact of the Industrial Revolution and how it came to influence the decorative arts, through changes in machinery and scientific methods.

This book contains a wide-ranging and striking collection of illustrations, mostly from contemporary sources, providing the reader with a very good idea of the exceptionally high quality of inventiveness and workmanship displayed by the manufacturers and their exhibits. Examples discussed and illustrated cover most areas of manufacture and include ceramics; silver and metalwork; furniture; cast iron and garden furniture; chandeliers and candelabra; clocks; bronze ornament; textiles; chimney-pieces and interior design.
