520    This early collection of graphic designs by German artist 
       Franz von Stuck (1863--1928) features images intended for 
       menu cards, wine lists, and other food service 
       applications. Although produced for commercial use, the 
       artist's excellent draftsmanship, clean graphic designs, 
       and imaginative use of mythological subjects signal his 
       later development as a leader of the Symbolist movement. 
       Stuck had just begun to exhibit his paintings during the 
       1890 publication of this portfolio. The artist was soon to
       become a founder of the Munich Succession movement, and 
       these graphics exhibit the trained hand of a professional 
       and a foreshadowing of his future work. The images abound 
       in playful cherubs, grinning grotesques, amorous couples 
       in period costume, and other motifs characteristic of the 
       Symbolist preoccupation with eroticism and decadence. 
       Reproduced directly from a rare volume that has been out 
       of print for over a century, 50 plates include line art 
       and employ multiple colors. This new edition offers a 
       splendid combination of traditional academic work with 
       mythic themes and late nineteenth-century graphics that 
       will inspire modern designers, illustrators, and fans of 
       period design work.
