Great source of frameable prints and basic background on the artisit's works.
Bought this as a gift for an Erte1 fan and she was deeply impressed by the crisp colors and excellent examples some of of the artist's most famous works. There's a similar collection that will make a great follow-up birthday present.

Excellent Erte reference
I found this looking for another copy of my gold standard Erte book. Would highly recommend this as an Erte Reference or for design elements and creative inspiration for artists in any medium. He was truly a genius.

Book title needs a sub-title
This Erte` book really needs a better title, or maybe a sub-title (under the main title) because this book contains only the Erte`Graphics decribed by the previous commentator (eg: the NUMBERS, ALPHABETS, etc).This book is very thin, but the size of the book's page are very large, so the reader can see the posters in great detail! A good thing! I liked the over-size of each page very much. Also, the colors of the graphics are very bright and clear....almost psychedelic!I think that if you are a lover of the graphic arts, or Erte`, or the history of graphic art in general,this is a good book to own as a supplement. This book is not complete, but would make a nice supplement to a book library.(Also the price of this book is normally quite reasonable).

Great fun to look at you won't get bored
Another book my hubby ruined by throwing it in the shed! This shows what Erte can do with the Alphabet, Numbers, Seasons, Precious Stones! Great fun to look at you won't get bored! If Art Deco is your thing, you are gonna love this book!

Love the art, hate the printing
I had a copy of this from years ago and wanted to hang a word on my wall, so I needed to buy two more. I'm not sure who is in charge of securing print vendors at Dover, but the quality of the two new ones I ordered is vastly degraded from the copy I purchased a few years ago. Look for a used copy. Whoever is printing the current book cannot get a true black and the art looks streaky and fuzzy. Dover, you can do better.

Nice collection of Erte designs
I've seen some of Erte's alphabet jewelry pieces taken from these designs and it's difficult to see some of the detail. This book shows all the details of the original designs very nicely.

Not bad for the price but not worth it either
I can't really complain because of the price, but the quality of the images in this thin book is not good. There are printer streaks and it looks like it was produced by a mediocre home computer.
