Atelier Martine Postcards

Atelier Martine's botanical embroidery designs — lilies and astilbe, cornflowers, an orchid sprig with coral bloom, lotus and water lilies, birds resting on a branch — reappear here as postcards, several dated to around 1914. Each print carries the bold, slightly naive charm of early 20th-century decorative pattern work, closer to a textile sketch than a formal illustration.

A distinctive pick for anyone drawn to Art Nouveau florals, vintage pattern design, or postcrossing with a decorative-arts twist.
