EDITORS COMMENTS
This chromolithograph, titled "Diamond Stars and Brooches," is an exquisite example of the ornate and intricate designs that defined the Art Nouveau movement in the late 19th century. The image, taken from Edwin Streeter's Gems Catalog, showcases a dazzling array of diamond stars and brooches, each one more breathtaking than the last. Edwin Streeter was a renowned jeweler based in London's fashionable Bond Street, known for his exceptional collection of precious stones and exquisite jewelry designs. This catalog, filled with vibrant and detailed illustrations, was a testament to his passion for gems and his commitment to showcasing their beauty in innovative and captivating ways. The diamond stars in this print are depicted in all their radiant glory, each one a perfect representation of the celestial bodies they are named after. The intricate designs of the brooches that hold these stars in place are equally mesmerizing, with delicate filigree work and intricate patterns that evoke the natural world. The use of chromolithography, a printing technique that allowed for the production of richly colored and detailed images, adds an extra layer of depth and dimension to the print. The result is a stunning work of art that transcends its role as a simple catalog illustration, serving instead as a testament to the beauty and allure of diamonds and the artistry of the jeweler's craft. This print is a reminder of a bygone era when jewelry was not just a mere accessory, but a work of art in its own right. It invites us to appreciate the intricacies of design and the beauty of precious stones, and to be transported to a world of wonder and enchantment.
