Bertold Loffler, Koloman Moser and Josef Hoffman, all central to the development of the Viennese Secession movement, produced this book with their students.

Conceived as a sketchbook for decorative painting, posters, books and printing, decorative papers, menu and guest cards, carpets, textiles, stencils, leaded glass windows, embroidery, monograms and dressmaking.

These volumes are reflective of the style and ornamentation of the Secession period and are a most influential example of the design, textures and styles of the time.

With contributions by many of the leading graphic designers of the day, including Koloman Moser, Wenzel Oswald, Gustav Marisch, Prof. Anton R. v. Kenner and others.

These richly illustrated smaller posters capture the essence of this highly graphical and colorful period in Austrian art and are a marvelous collection of decorative graphic design typical of the Wiener Werkstatte period.
