We are delighted to offer a superb selection of
prints from Anton Seder’s The Plant in Art and Trade,
published in 1890 by Gerlach & Schenk, in Vienna. This
work is one of the seminal influences in the Art Nouveau
movement. Many of the designs were by the master
himself, the great Anton Seder, and show his hallmark
intertwined AS signature in varying forms, from prominent
to almost undetectable. Other artists for the work
include Birkenger, E. Unger, Franz Patek, H. Kaufman &
E. Klimt.
Seder was a German artist who became the first director
of the newly formed Decorative Arts College in
Strasbourg, in Alasace Lorraine. This area of the world
was hotly contested by both the French and the Germans,
and became a unique marriage of cultures as it
alternated between the two countries. The College was an
inspirational focus for the entire Art Nouveau movement,
from the superbly decorative building housing it to the subjects taught there- Architecture,
Painting, Sculpture, and the cabinet making and iron
work that became so central to the new movement.
The designs Seder produced for The Plant in Art and
Trade are now icons of the era, still breathtaking in
their beauty and originality. The colors are rich,
often highlighted with genuine gold and silver
illumination. Each chromolithographed print is very
large, measuring approximately 14 3/4 inches wide by 21
inches long on high quality paper. The condition of the
prints is very nice with only a little faint foxing on
just a few of the plates. The prints are very
decorative, and very scarce, hence a treasured addition
the collection of the Art Nouveau enthusiast.
