Treasury of art nouveau design8/31/2023 Many of the creations come from the influential English periodical The Studio (1894–1920) and the French Art el Décoration (1897–1910) others from a variety of original European sources, all identified. All are in black-and-white line, clearly reproduced. The ornaments range in size from full-page illustrations to borders, head and tailpieces and decorative initials. Here, taken directly from those rare books and periodicals, are 577 royalty-free authentic period designs specially chosen for artists and designers. Art Nouveau motif seekers have been left with little choice but to resort to expensive archives of rare books.

Throughout their two decades of dominance, Art Nouveau artists concentrated on the ornamental and decorative potential of the flowing line in painting, printing, wallpaper, and all other fine and applied arts.
