Trois saisons d'activité, 1905, 1906, 1907

Picard, Edmond, 1836-1924, Ostende centre d'art · 1907 · Bruxelles : Veuve Ferdinand Larcier · 1 picture

A 1907 Brussels publication by Edmond Picard and the Ostend art centre, recording three seasons of activity from 1905 to 1907 and aimed at readers of Belgian arts. The single picture is a rust-red woodcut-style frontispiece or cover device, with a three-masted ship under full sail on rolling waves and a bold, flat, decorative sky of stylised rays and flame-like marks. A designer could take its strong silhouette, limited two-colour palette and Art Nouveau linework for a maritime emblem or a bold print motif.
