This book presents a diverse collection of border and corner designs from around 1900. These motifs, sourced from Renaissance, Baroque, Gothic, Greco-Roman, Egyptian, Celtic, Arabic, and Turkish styles, showcase the rich graphic design environment of the era.
The designs demonstrate adaptability to mass reproduction printing techniques, using lead or copper settings. Offering a wealth of inspiration for modern designers, this book illustrates the many decorative possibilities available to typesetters, who often served as designers, selecting decorative material to complement texts. The influence of Art Nouveau is also apparent, with organic themes and swirling curves.
