This unique collection of beautiful floral patterns and stencil designs showcases the rich, muted colors and distinctive, sinuous lines of the Art Nouveau style. Included are 159 floral and foliate motifs created in the late 1890s by M.P. Verneuil, one of the movement's finest artists. All the designs have been meticulously reproduced from original plates in two rare, turn of the century portfolios tude de le Plante and L'ornementation par le Pochior. Finely detailed and subtly shaded, these copyright free designs are an invaluable resource perfect for adding a note of elegance to fabrics, stained glass, wallpaper, and a host of other art and craft projects.
