Borders, panels, scrolls, wall friezes, and other design elements -- selected from a rare early-20th-century stylebook -- contain a vast assortment of motifs, among them tangled ivy vines and voluptuous sprays of tulips and lilies; sea life, parrots, and peacocks; and lovely women with flowing tresses, all sensually rendered in subtle hues. 317 full-color illustrations.
