In a post from November last year<\/a> I expressed a hope that the Internet Archive might add more of the design source books in the Quelle<\/em> series to its collection. Fast forward a few months and here’s another of the books, this time showcasing the work of Carl Otto Czeschka (1878\u20131960). As with the Max Benirschke volume, the Czeschka book is a collection of graphics for use by artists, designers and printers. Where Benirschke presented pages of decorative motifs in the Art Nouveau style, Czeschka’s work is more illustrational, and more limited in its use, with some of the pieces intended to function as ex libris plates or menu headers. Considering that these designs were meant to have a general application there’s a surprising quantity of beetles and skeletons\/skulls in Czeschka’s drawings; he even manages to put a skull into a drawing of that fin-de-si\u00e8cle<\/em> staple, the peacock feather.
