Art nouveau woodcuts

To return to a previously touched-upon theme...
These are from a wonderful book, Art Nouveau Bing Paris Style 1900... In fact, one of the best, most treasured art books I have. Mostly it has photographs of interiors (B&W for the most part, with a few in color), vases, jewelry, cups, etc.

I love swans. I saw about a million of them when I took the train in the Low Countries... They swam in the canals. They made me very, very happy. They just looked exquisite, swimming in those murky, squared-off waterways, and moved at such a stately pace...

Anyway, this is a gorgeous book. I know you would love it
