Die Renaissance im modernen Kunstgewerbe
Henry van de Velde's 1901 German treatise on modern applied arts, published in Berlin by Bruno and Paul Cassirer for designers and craftsmen interested in the new ornament. The pictures are title pages built from one Art Nouveau headpiece of interlaced whiplash curves and symmetrical scrolls, with bold German capitals beneath, showing how a single ornamental motif can frame typography and give a page a unified structure a designer could adapt.
