Small folio. (25) ff. Jewelry catalog comprised of a title leaf and 24 loose plates, enclosed in a cloth portfolio. Approximately a dozen art nouveau jewelry designs, including necklaces, rings, bracelets, and haircombs, are featured on each beautifully-detailed monotone plate. Plates printed by A. Calavas and embossed with a small Art Nouveau figure in the lower left margin. Paste-downs and portfolio flaps are decorated with a green and tan repeating art nouveau design. Some discoloration and spotting on the fore-edge of the original cloth portfolio and marginal creasing on the title leaf and first two plates. A very good copy of a rare Art Nouveau item.
