From the Collection of Cavallini & Co.

Cavallini is one of the best-known companies for high-quality gift and stationery products. They have been producing everything from calendars to wrapping papers for 25 years. Designs are based on ephemera from all walks of life--charming vintage post cards of the Eiffel Tower, centuries-old hand-colored engravings of birds and flowers, rare maps and prints, amusing early twentieth-century advertisements and trade materials.

From the hottest world travel destinations--Bon Voyage, San Francisco, New York, London, Italy and Paris--to popular themes such as Christmas, Flora and Fauna and Animals, this book will inspire anyone who enjoys art and design.

Brian D. Coleman is the author of Fortuny, Barry Dixon Interiors, and Farrow & Ball: The Art of Color, among other home design books. He writes for Old House Interiors and other magazines. He divides his time between New York and Seattle.
