Katalog der Ausstellung für Buchgewerbe und Photographie : in St Louis, 1904
This is a German exhibition catalogue of 1904 issued by the Deutscher Buchgewerbeverein of Leipzig through Poeschel & Trepte, documenting the book trades and photography shown at the St Louis Louisiana Purchase Exposition for an international trade audience. The pictures here are plain black decorative border strips printed on cream paper, each a band of interlaced scrolls, swirls and dotted tendrils; a designer could take from them the rhythm of continuous Art Nouveau-era border patterns for headers, dividers and panels.
