Plates from Dekorative Vorbilder

Once again, we present more plates from Dekorative Vorbilder, the decorative arts periodical published by Julius Hoffman in Stuttgart, Germany, from 1890 until the late 1920s. The series featured work from a variety of artists, and it was described by the press as “a compilation of figurative representations, applied-art embellishments, plastic ornaments, decorative animal and plant studies, allegories, trophies, heraldic motifs, club insignias, coats of arms for guilds, festive ornaments, etc.” Other titles by Julius Hoffman include Der Moderne Stil, or “The Modern Style” a periodical printed from 1899-1905, and Die Kupferstiche des Meisters, “The Engravings of the Masters” published in 1911.

The Dekorative Vorbilder was issued in monthly installments. The images we are featuring this week are from Volume 21, published in 1910.
