About The Poster: In the late 1890s and early 1900s, publications like La Plante et ses applications ornementales. ( Plants and Their Application to Ornament) were produced ''to show practical examples for the industry and a path to follow''. They can be seen as an Art Nouveau manifesto, with artists like Grasset introducing his book as a ''merciless war against the imitation from the past''.
This plate is detailed, well-colored and illustrates pussy willows and swallows, water lilies and ivy. A wonderful gift for a gardener, artist or anyone who loves vintage ephemera.
In very good condition and ready to frame.
