Created as design references for textiles, embroidery, wallpaper and interior furnishings, the compositions combine late German Jugendstil ornament with emerging Art Deco geometry.
Produced in collotype with pochoir-applied color and gilt accents. An original library label documents their use by Marshall Field & Company’s Interior Decorative Fabrics department in Chicago. Offered together as five nonconsecutive plates from the original sixteen-plate portfolio.
