The procedure is very tricky. The work must be done rapidly in extreme cold, for even body heat can melt a rare specimen that has been painstakingly mounted. The lighting must be just right to reveal all the nuances of design without producing heat. But the results can be rewarding, as the work of W. A. Bentley proved.\u003cbr\u003eFor almost half a century, Bentley caught and photographed thousands of snowflakes in his workshop at Jericho, Vermont, and made available to scientists and art instructors samples of his remarkable work. In 1931, the American Meteorological Society gathered together the best of these photomicrographs, plus some slides of frost, glaze, dew on vegetation and spider webs, sleet, and soft hail, and a text by W. J. Humphreys, and had them published. That book is here reproduced, unaltered, and unabridged. Over 2,000 beautiful crystals on these pages reveal the wonder of nature's diversity in uniformity; no two are alike, yet all are based on a common hexagon.\u003cbr\u003eThe introductory text covers the technique of photographing snow crystals, classification, the fundamentals of crystallography, and markings. There are also brief discussions of the nature and cause of ice flowers, windowpane frost, dew, rime, sleet, and graupel.\u003cbr\u003eThe book is of great value both to students of ice forms and for textile and other designers who can use the natural designs of these snow crystals in their work. Every photograph is royalty-free; you may use up to 10 without fees, permission, or acknowledgement.\u003cbr\u003e\"A most unusual and very readable book.\" — \u003ci\u003eNature\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eReprint of the original 1931 edition.\u003c\/div\u003e ice crystals;snow flakes;clip art;nature inspires;snowflake designs;structure leads;related phenomena;discusses related;high-quality photographs;bright moon;photographic plates;gifted child;painstaking effort;exactly alike;snowy day;white photographs;ready-to-use;stencils;neoclassical;vector;nouveau;bentley's;silhouette;dover;window-pane;six-pointed;cds;crystallography;windowpanes;norse;rom;crystals;hexagon;electronic;meteorological;rime;sleet;clip;reproducing;photographing;textile;snowflakes;glaze;florid;symmetry;1931;mounted;geometry;fees;ephemeral;inanimate;classification;photographed;reproduced;frost;photograph;shapes;humphreys;books on photographic plates;books on fees;books on clip arts;books on dovers;books on inanimates;reproduce;books on cds;books on white photographs;books on clips;books on high-quality photographs;books on rimes;books on norses;books on vectors;books on symmetries;books on snowflakes;books on bright moons;books on classifications;books on photographs;books on frosts;books on related phenomena;books on ready-to-uses;books on crystallographies;books on snow flakes;books on ice crystals;books on crystals;books on silhouette;books on textiles;books on stencils;books on nouveaus;glazing;books on gifted children;books on hexagons;books on shapes;books on geometries;books on snowy days","brand":"W.

While the style of the time was soft-focus, impressionistic photographs, Blossfeldt's purpose governed his photographic method and resulting magnificent prints: direct lighting to define form, sharp focus to expose detail and texture, enlarging up to 27 times actual size to reveal structure that previously was invisible or overlooked by the naked eye. \u003cbr\u003eHis subject matter ― the leaves, buds, stems, seed pods, tendrils, and twigs of plant life ― sparkles with an honest simplicity and clarity that discloses not only the wonder and science of nature, but also the distinct similarities between the form developed by nature and that produced by man. In the infinite variety of form in the plant world, Blossfeldt found many examples of shape and structure that, when photographed his way, resemble the forms of man's artistic (particularly architectural) styles ― from Gothic through Art Nouveau. His images imply that man's art mirrors nature and suggest that nature, in its continuous reproduction and adaptation, also creates its own art. \u003cbr\u003eBlossfeldt's exquisite and historically important photographs continue to be prominently exhibited and acclaimed throughout the world.

Inspired by both organic and geometric forms, the new trend abandoned historical styles in favor of flowing, natural forms accented by angular contours. Art Nouveau's curves and floral and animal motifs were particularly suited to adaptations in precious stones and rare metals. The elegant, royalty-free illustrations of this collection, reprinted in their original colors from a rare German edition, offer authentic representations of the craftsmanship and imaginative qualities involved in the creation of  Art Nouveau jewelry.\u003cbr\u003eThis sumptuous assortment presents more than 300 pendants, combs, rings, bracelets, brooches, buttons, clasps, and earrings. The exquisitely detailed jewelry and accessories feature lilies, morning glories, and other floral motifs as well as butterflies, seahorses, birds, and a host of fanciful creatures. René Beauclair, a renowned Art Nouveau designer, includes his own works as well as those of André Petitjean, Jules Armbruster, Paul Liénard, Emile Jammes, and Paul F. Follot.
