Treasury of Authentic Art Nouveau: Alphabets, Decorative Initials, Monograms, Frames and Ornaments (Lettering, Calligraphy, Typography)

This has an amazing array of fonts, monograms of dozens of letter combinations, and decorative elements. I bought some tracing paper to go with it. Great value.

I was/am thrilled with this book. I have a particular love for this period of art. The book presents much more of a variety than I was able to find anywhere else. As an amature artist, I am looking forward to trying to use these types by hand. Of course some are more complicated and ornate than I could possibly do by hand, but what inspiring examples!

Great for any calligrapher or typographer

nice

Extremely useful,C.S.

Art Nouveau lettering is still very much in use, but in Calligraphy Books as such a full alphabet is rarely shown. This extensive collection shows both Capital and small letters of so many different alphabets that one is almost spoilt for choice, but you not only know they are authentic but there are numeroud examples of their use in adverts and announcements of the time, which is very useful.The book was very well studied in our calligraphy class for our Art Nouveau project.A great addition to one's library and you know you can rarely go wrong with a Dover book.

It's ok
