WOW !!! This book is absolute work of art. The craftsmanship is topnotch. It will be a timeless treasure that will be enjoyed for years to come.

The publication is rather beautifully done and highly stylized. The print quality is excellent with exceptional colors and elegant an texture.

Incredible!

Fascinating art, informative descriptions, beautifully constructed. An intriguing window into history via a visual medium.

The book arrived promptly, well packaged, and is beautiful. Many pictures I have never seen before and narrative is solid.

What a thoughtful and well-executed set of books. Great quality print. Great mix of beauty and insights. Bravo!

Nicely packaged. Beautifully printed.

Splendid book. Am glad I made the purchase, and it is worth the price.

Through my passion for German silent film I discovered Der Ochideengarten, So I was pleased to find Century Guild. I now have “Beautiful Macabre” and have recently received “BitterBlossoms”. They are both filled with remarkable images and illuminating text. An extra bonus for me to was to find illustrations from an E.T.A. Hoffmann story. Hoffmann’s work is also a lifelong passion of mine.

I pinned this on my canvas Alphonse Mucha tote!

So many interesting posters! If you are interested in vintage posters/ads this is for you. I was sold on the cover!

wife loves it!

Excellent! It started with the very prompt shipping. When it came, I opened the package, and just took in how beautifully it presented. The red gilding is stunning! The print quality is amazing! As are the images. As an artist, I can discern the good from the bad fairly easily. It’s going to compliment my growing book collection beautifully. I’ll definitely be purchasing more books in the near future.

Excellent quality

So happy to add this book to my collection of Art Nouveau books! I have not seen many of these illustrations elsewhere.
