Description

This Art Nouveau poster advertises the 'Atlas de Poche' (Pocket Atlas) series — compact naturalist field guides for excursions and walks, covering plants of fields, prairies, woods and mountains, insects, butterflies, mushrooms, birds, fish, and shells, each volume priced at 6 francs 50. Bold green botanical illustrations of leaves, catkins, wildflowers, a dragonfly, and butterflies frame the red typographic text in a lush, decorative border. George Auriol, the French graphic designer celebrated for his Art Nouveau lettering and poster work in fin-de-siècle Paris, brings his characteristic fluid naturalism and elegant hand-lettered typography to this charming piece.
