These amazing patterns are from the New York Public Library's online Digital Gallery collection. This selection of decorative designs was created by E. A. Seguy, a Parisian designer working in the early 1900s. I love these patterns due to their bold use of insects and color. I have always been attracted to the drawings by Audobon and other naturalists for their clean lines and vivid details--and these patterns draw on a similar aesthetic. It is almost as if Seguy has smashed together a whole book full of these deliberate drawings to create his vivid naturalist patterns. More at http://digitalgallery.nypl.org/nypldigital/index.cfm
