JohnBarton Posted July 21, 2011 Report Posted July 21, 2011 What an amazing find. And you won't hardly find any books made today with such care and detail. I agree that it is a goldmine and I can't think of a more deserving person to have discovered it. It's serendipity as if Jehan Raymond personally delivered this book to the one person on Earth most qualified to execute the designs. And furthermore this was done all by hand, these wonderful designs that a lot of people can't come up with even with the aid of computers. Such wonderful use use of space in all these designs and excellent flow. I am really looking forward to what you will do with these. Quote Support Quality. We are all humans. Buy the best no matter where it's made. That way everyone lives in harmony. Nature knows no flags.

Manny Millions of Thanks for your very kind words about my work John :-) Maybe I should try to make a thing or two from the book and hopefully make Jehan's designs justice...

I think that if you did then you couldn't help but to Tina-fy it with your own interpretation and then it would truly be two artists spanning a century. In any case it's a superb thing just to own in the original. Quote Support Quality. We are all humans. Buy the best no matter where it's made. That way everyone lives in harmony.

Members nurseman Posted November 6, 2011 Members Report Posted November 6, 2011 hello to all, I was intrigued by this and did a search and here is what I came up with (if your interested in more of this style) http://www.scribd.com/doc/60009420/Art-Nouveau-Designs I have just recently decided to give leather a try as a hobby for profit. I havent bought my first tool or leather scrap yet but I am bidding on some stuff on ebay. I would like to say thanks to everyone who has posted a how to or tip. as I surf through the site, I am inspired and awe struck by the talent here. the website cited is scribed.com and I find it useful for a variety of topics Quote
Members aeron Posted September 25, 2013 Members Report Posted September 25, 2013 Just wondering if you decided to scan any pages from this in the end, Tina? I've been looking to buy a copy of this for ages but the cheapest one I can find is well over $500, so for now I'm just hoping someone will make a digital copy. Quote
raysouth Posted September 25, 2013 Report Posted September 25, 2013 Just came upon 2 additional copies of his works on www.abebooks.com . Thought I would pass it along. God Bless. Ray Quote

I decided not to do a digital copy of this book, once it's done you can never go back and it will probably spread like a wildfire. Not only is the patterns beautiful but I also think the rarity of the book absolutly adds to the interest. As one of the owners of a copy it would be in my interest to keep the value, with a digital copy "out there"...Well, you do the math :-) I hope you'll understand and I wish that you can find your copy with as much luck as I did//Tina Quote "He who works with his hands is a laborer.

I do understand (and would probably feel the same way if I had it). I just figured it couldn't hurt to ask. Quote
