Maurice Verneuil Squirrel Swift Honeysuckle Pattern Art Nouveau Poster
Plate 22 from Verneuil’s L’animal dans la décoration: swifts over honeysuckle and a squirrel-and-hazelnut wallpaper in orange and green. French Art Nouveau, 1897.
Description
The top border, 'Martinets et chèvrefeuille,' carries dark swifts across trumpet flowers; the main 'Écureuils et noisetier, papier peint' dances with orange squirrels through hazel leaves; below, a flowering-hazelnut border with blue birds. Layered foliage greens against bright orange make this a lively nature pattern.
