Art Nouveau in Bloom - Everyday Boxed Greeting Cards
12 greeting cards (2 each of 6 designs)BLANK INSIDEMany years ago, our co-founder Sandra Darling acquired a large-format book by the great French designer M.P. Verneuil entitled Étude de la Plante: Son Application aux Industries d'Art (Study of the Plant and Its Applications to the Design Industry), printed in 1903 for the Librarie Centrale des Beaux Arts, Paris. This remarkable tome contains magnificent decorative studies of plants. It offers ideas on how these plant forms could be incorporated into various design elements such as fabric, jewelry, ironwork, pottery, and more. Printed by letterpress with pochoir colored illustrations, the printing quality is superb. Within this set, you'll find greeting cards featuring dandelions, wisteria, nasturtiums, Easter lilies, German bearded irises, and cobeas (commonly called cup and saucer vine), all blooming in full Art Nouveau glory.
