About this ebook
This comprehensive treasury of copyright-free floral designs ― chosen from rare periodicals and illustrated books ― offers graphic artists and craftworkers a variety of floral favorites in ornamental styles that range from 18th-century classical to Victorian and Art Nouveau. Selections include reproductions from such 19th- and 20th-century periodicals as The Studio, L'Art pour tous, and Formenschatz, as well as a wide range of materials from American, English, French, German, and Spanish typography catalogs.
Ideal for embellishing almost any artistic or craft project, the motifs include such favorites as roses, tulips, irises, lilies, and violets. Use these eye-catching motifs to decorate menus, invitations, stationery, book covers, and advertisements, or create needlework patterns as well as designs for textiles and woodworking.
