"A compilation of most of the material from Allerlei Zierat: zur Ausstattung von Drucksachen jeden Charakters, originally published in Leipzig, c. 1902 by J.G. Schelter & Giesecke"--T.p. verso.

Reproduced from a rare turn-of-the-century German catalog, these permission-free frames, headpieces, tailpieces, title pages, spot art, scrollwork, and other ornamental motifs include bold Art Nouveau designs along with a wealth of detailed, evocative images of couples dancing, placid landscapes, sailing ships, fairies and elves, cherubs playing musical instruments, beautiful young ladies, floral borders, and much more. 2600 black-and-white illustrations.
