Butterflies Plate 19
1920
Step into the vibrant world of 1920s design with this plate from Emile-Allain Séguy’s celebrated butterfly portfolio, where nature meets geometry. The page is split into four distinct panels, each exploding with stylized moths and butterflies in bold, flat colors like rusty red, deep teal, and creamy white. Séguy created these patterns as practical inspiration for textiles and wallpapers, aiming to bring the wild beauty of insects into fashionable homes. The crisp, graphic lines show a fascinating transition from the flowing curves of Art Nouveau to the bold, modern shapes of the Jazz Age.
