New selection of 60 plates from Chants et chansons populaires de la France, originally published in Paris.

This treasury of vintage graphics includes 60 splendid plates of pictorial borders ideal for adding period flair to a wide range of artistic and craft projects. The borders -- all with space for text or a message -- include floral garlands, cupids, scrollwork, and other motifs, as well as finely rendered scenes of card parties in an elegant salon, an amorous couple in an idyllic country setting, soldiers storming the walls of a city, citizens strolling in a park, ardent suitors, lovely maidens, and many other eye-catching vignettes. Clearly printed and exquisitely detailed, these superb permission-free illustrations will be welcomed by artists and graphic designers, decoupeurs and other craftworkers, as well as antiquarians and lovers of fine period illustrations.
