At the height of the Art Nouveau movement and into the early days of Art Deco, Christian Stoll Studios was a leading and prolific source of graphic design. The Leipzig-based firm, which produced beautiful stock books for all forms of design applications, was active chiefly from 1900 to the beginning of World War I and renowned for their staff of creative artists. Three of Stoll’s designers are responsible for the majority of the works in this volume: Richard Kühnel, Hugo Sachs, and Josef Pilters. Their illustrations appear here in more than 90 breathtaking plates that range from single- to full-color.
