Tierleben im Ornament
Tierleben im Ornament is a German plate book of animal-based decorative patterns compiled by G. Sturm and published in 1895 for ornament designers and craftsmen. Its pictures are monochrome plates of stylised beasts, birds and foliage set into panels and borders, with dense interlacing scrolls and mirrored compositions a designer could adapt for surface pattern, textile or metalwork.
