Prints by Habert-Dys. From Fantaisies Décoratives. Paris: Librairie de l'Art, J. Rouam, éditeur, 29, Cité d'Antin, 1886. Folio. Chine appliqué. Chromolithographs. Some finished with gold. Some pages with marginal wear, but images very good.
These whimsical "fantasies" are not only highly decorative, but are also a conceptual delight. They are designs intended as possible decorations for porcelain, furniture, fabrics, wallpapers and other such uses. Monsieur Habert-Dys' technique combined natural subjects with his own originality to create these delightful images which do not hark back to bygone eras and styles, but rather, were completely modern at the time. Shunning the banale, using colors in harmonious combinations and making full use of his powers of imagination and innovation, Habert-Dys compiled these singularly original, and decidedly nineteenth century motifs.
