Katalog der Ausstellung der Aquarellisten-Clubs der Genossenschaft der Bildenden Künstler Wiens
An 1899 exhibition catalogue published in Vienna by the Genossenschaft der Bildenden Künstler Wiens for the Aquarellisten-Club, presenting Austrian watercolour painting to art audiences. Its pictures are black-ink woodcut-style vignettes and printers' devices with flowing Art Nouveau lines: a stylised tree with a Latin motto banner and vine-like roots, a framed figure in a decorated gown facing a bearded old man, and a crowned monogram. A designer might take the sinuous contour linework, the framed vignette format and the boldly simplified botanical forms as models for decorative borders and logos.
