What is A4 with 3 art nouveau pics. Printed is “frontispices pour revues d’art”. + “pour reliure de missel”?
I have an old A4 (clearly cut from something larger) with 3 art nouveau pictures. (seem painted) Printed is “frontispices pour revues d’art”. + “pour reliure de missel”. What is this ? (what does text mean and is it valuable and was “Missel”.)
Picture can be seen on http://www.webwerkplaats.nl/reliure.JPG
Revues d’art is/was a contempory art magazine. French obviously
The first two are front cover artwork from them.
‘Reliure’ is binding.
Missel – missal.
A book for catholic mass http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Missal
If the picture you linked to is what you actually have. Then I wouldn’t imagine it was valuable at all.
But if you have the magazines (original and in decent condition), there should be people out there willing to buy

Here's my opinion: artistic talent is largely learned. Most of the so-called experts will argue this statement, of course. They’ll proclaim that artistic oil painting techniques are only in the grasp of those rare individuals that are born with a mysteriously God-like ability to create art. Being lowly mortals, we should never even try to understand art let alone try to create it. Give me a break! Click here For the rest of the story: Free Painting Lesson
