Books and decoration

At the end of the 19th century, books were not only a medium for conveying information but also works of art.
The illustrations make the story visible, and the binding and cover tell the story of the book at a glance - the "beauty of books" comes to life in these spaces, where words and images resonate with each other.
This page introduces a carefully selected collection of original antique prints produced at the time, focusing on illustrations, covers and illustrations from books and magazines by Mucha, Beardsley, Robida and others.
Please enjoy the richness of decoration and imagination contained within each book.
