Dealer Notes
Scarce work that shows thirty-two flower inspired designs in pure art nouveau style. It seems to have been published in a small edition. Some copies have loose plates in a portfolio. Ours is bound in a publisher’s binding. There seems to have been a limited edition of 500 copies but ours is not numbered. In the introduction the author says that he would like this to be an inspiration for designers.
