This versatile treasury of eye-catching typographic ornaments and designs, reproduced from a rare turn-of-the-century catalog, includes hundreds of ornate, copyright-free frames, headpieces, tailpieces, title pages, scrollwork, and other highly ornamental motifs. Invaluable to illustrators and commercial artists in search of graphics to enhance books and magazines, newsletters, menus, posters, catalog copy, advertisements, and a host of other print projects, the illustrations encompass a broad array of subjects, sizes and styles. Included are bold black-and-white designs recalling the free-form style of Jugendstil (the German term for Art Nouveau), along with a wealth of detailed, evocative images of couples dancing, placid landscapes, sailing ships, ancient castles, fairies and elves, cherubs playing musical instruments, lovely ladies, floral borders, and much more. These vintage copyright-free designs not only comprise a rich resource of immediately usable art, they will also provide ongoing inspiration and delight for artists and lovers of antique illustrations.
