L'ecolier décorateur 2 : application du programme officiel du 27, Juillet 1909 : 6 cahiers petits exercices progressifs et variés de composition décorative en couleurs à l'usage des ecoles primaires / par M. Chevry, artiste, peintre, professeur
A French primary-school drawing workbook of 1909 by the painter and teacher M. Chevry, issued to accompany the official decorative-art programme for pupils to copy and adapt. Its pages are chromolithographed plates of Art Nouveau motifs built from natural forms such as bourrache, aubépine, jasmin and iris, arranged as vases, plates, cups, boxes and border strips. A designer could take from them the stylised floral repeats, pastel palettes and tidy ornamental layouts that suit surface pattern, ceramics and packaging.
