Art Nouveau & Arts and Crafts Prints

Art Nouveau and Arts and Crafts prints: decorative illustration, pattern design and graphic art from about 1870 to 1910. Artists include Walter Crane, William Morris, Arthur Heygate Mackmurdo, Heinrich Vogeler, Joseph Sattler, Raphael Kirchner and Hans Christiansen. The collection includes Morris and Mackmurdo textile and wallpaper patterns, Crane's illustrated books Flora's Feast, The Baby's Opera and Beauty and the Beast, Vogeler's fairy-tale etchings and bookplates (ex libris), Sattler's Meine Harmonie plates, and Jugend magazine covers. Common features are flowing lines, flowers and plants, and stylised female figures.

The selection focuses on design made for books, walls and fabric, where pattern and line matter as much as the picture.

The pattern prints suit kitchens, hallways and bedrooms; the small bookplates and etchings work well in groups on a shelf or gallery wall. All prints are museum-quality reproductions, available unframed or framed with acrylic glazing, with free shipping and import duties covered.
