Katalog der ... Ausstellung
This is an exhibition catalogue issued in 1901 in Vienna by the Künstlerbund Hagen, a group of artists, for visitors to its show and readers of art. The four pictures are black-and-white decorative prints: two tall vertical panels with stylised flowers and geometric bands, a block of small square ornaments, and a double-headed eagle with crown, sword and orb in both solid and outline versions. A designer could take from them the stark Viennese Secession-era vocabulary of flat ornament, heraldic symmetry and high-contrast black shapes.
