Sample book of transfer ornaments
A 1911 sample book of transfer ornaments published in New York by Palm & Fechteler, a trade catalogue of decorative designs for use by craftsmen and decorators. The pages show numbered plates of black-and-white scrollwork cartouches, shields, and framed panels, each sized in inches for ordering. A designer could draw on the symmetrical cartouche layouts, mixed acanthus scrolls, and heraldic shield frames as ready-made ornament for borders, labels, and panels.
