album cover

Mum was given a lovely old photo album of family photos on her birthday. Her 'baby' brother - who passed away almost three years ago - had it in a collection of treasures and his wife brought it for her! It has a beautiful cover though a bit faded now. And my editing hasn't really done it justice!
After being at the Charles Rennie Mackintosh exhibition on Glasgow at the weekend I had another look at the photo of the album cover and it is so much 'of its time'! I will scan it / take a better photo of it when I'm up latter in the week!
Three good things
1. Catching up
2. Connections with the past
3. Beautiful art

Lovely cover, Jugendstil I guess?

@gijsje That was a new term for me - I had to use Google....interesting!
We would probably use Art Nouveau......like Charles Rennie Mackintosh or Mucha and others of that era

@mave Yes Mave it is full of photos of when Mum and her siblings were quite little and she had not seen it for a LONG time.

I find it difficult to see the differences between Art Nouveau, Art Deco and Jugendstil, but I love that style (and I really like Alfons Mucha's work)
