width=182 by Eugene Grasset

Elegant botanical illustrations from the classic 1897 design book Plants and Their Application to Ornament are reproduced in this lavish collection. Sure to delight artists, designers, and fans of the Arts and Crafts and Art Nouveau styles, this gorgeous volume features flowering plants depicted as realistic natural history-style illustrations and stylized images demonstrating plant-based design motifs used on textiles, wallpapers, and more.

“In Plants and Their Application to Ornament, Eugène Grasset beautifully arranges an array of lavish and lovely botanical illustrations from the classic 1897 design book.” —Vanity Fair, February 2008
