Decorative Sunday

Today we present Des Malers Handmappe: farbige Originalentwürfe neuester richtung für den alltagsbedarf by Adolf Vollmann and published by F. Wolfram in Vienna. The decorative art portfolio is undated, but it is probably from around 1890-1910s based on the style. We also cannot find information about the author Adolf Vollmann, but we do know that this type of design portfolio was used for inspiration for interior painting and decorative art popular during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. We have featured similar titles from this same period in previous Decorative Sunday posts such as Das Farbige Malerbuch, Dekorative Vorbilder, and Modelli D'arte Decorativa.
