Eugène Grasset et son oeuvre
A 1900 Paris monograph by Camille Lemonnier published by La Plume, surveying the decorative art, posters and book illustration of Eugène Grasset for an audience of collectors and art readers. The pictures show Art Nouveau panels with a flowing female figure among stylised foliage, a garden scene with a woman gathering flowers beneath a framed cartouche, a horseback battle scene set within a printed page, and a decorative title page with a framed plaque and ornamental borders, a designer can take from them the interlace of figures, plants and lettering within bordered frames.
