Originally published by Bracken Books in 1988, this edition serves as a classic art portfolio compilation. Features forty full-colour plates showcasing vibrant, ornamental pattern motifs. The designs bridge the Art Nouveau and Art Deco periods, combining organic botanical subjects with bold geometric structures.
