Petit atlas des champignons Pl.7 (1900)

This page presents "Petit atlas des champignons Pl.7" (1900), created by Delachaux & Niestlé. It is listed in the Plants & Animals collection. The image is in square orientation. Background on Plants & Animals: Naturalists and artists often worked together, especially on voyages and in published surveys of flora and fauna. Images of plants and animals run from medieval herbals and bestiaries to the scientific illustration of the seventeenth to nineteenth centuries. Context for 1900: Posters, magazines, and illustrated books were major ways for the public to meet new art and design. Dada and Surrealism followed the First World War, the Bauhaus school was founded in 1919, and Art Deco became the fashionable decorative style of the 1920s and 1930s.

"Petit atlas des champignons Pl.7" is shown in the onlly.art catalogue for reference and browsing. A square format is flexible and works well on its own or as part of a grid on a gallery wall. Flora and fauna subjects make an interior feel softer and more alive, adding a natural rhythm that works well in both traditional and contemporary spaces. Browsing works by the same artist, or from the same period, is a good way to compare styles before choosing what suits your space.

Swiss, 1882
