This particular piece, originally chromolithograph on paper, comes from one of his best-known works, \u003cem\u003eDie Pflanze in Kunst und Gewerbe (The Plant in Art and Trade)\u003c\/em\u003e. Published in Vienna in 1890, it contains two volumes of stunning prints gracefully depicting elements of nature. With its vibrant colour palettes and neatly compartmentalised structures, it is clear why this became a seminal work of the Art Nouveau moment. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAnton Seder was a painter, craftsman, designer, art professor and Director of the noted Kunstgewerbeschule (Arts and Crafts School) in Strasbourg, Alsace-Lorraine. With the region at that time hotly contested by both France and Germany, the art scene that arose offered a unique marriage of cultures as it was pulled between the two countries. Influences from both can thus be seen in Seder’s work. His harmonious use of space, plethora of details and candid depiction of natural elements drew us to this piece, and with it we hope to herald Seder’s unique voice and vision in a new era of art and trade. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOriginal artwork:\u003c\/strong\u003e Chromolithograph on paper print from Anton Seder’s Die Pflanze in Kunst und Gewerbe\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEra:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1890\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRegion:\u003c\/strong\u003e Vienna, Austria\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eProduct Details\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 40 × 185 × 1 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDesign:\u003c\/strong\u003e Viennese Fruit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries:\u003c\/strong\u003e Vox Botanica\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDouble-sided design\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDecorative printed paper\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTextured printing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRounded edges\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSubtle Paperblanks branding\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 10 g\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProduct code:\u003c\/strong\u003e PA1389-2 | \u003cstrong\u003eISBN:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9780349713892\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAbout Paperblanks\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003ePaperblanks works with museums, libraries, galleries and artists around the world to faithfully reproduce remarkable artwork, historic bindings and treasured manuscripts, bringing the same care and craftsmanship found in its celebrated journals to every accessory.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Paperblanks","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54386148311368,"sku":"PA1389-2","price":4.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0920\/5114\/5032\/files\/9780349713892_Front_HighRes.png?v=1792779055","url":"https:\/\/shop.penandpaper.co.uk\/products\/paperblanks-viennese-fruit-bookmark-pa1389-2","provider":"The Pen and Paper Stationery Company","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
