About the book: These plates represent a stunning example of early 20th-century German design, showcasing patterns and surface designs influenced by the Jugendstil and early Art Deco movements. The magazine is an important source of architectural and applied arts in the early 20th century. It served (and still serves) as a source of inspiration and ideas for decorators, textile designers, architects, and artisans—as valued then as they are today by collectors of historical pattern books and illustrations.
