Miss Traumerei

Miss Traumerei, a novel by Albert Morris Bagby, illustrated by Ethel Reed Art Nouveau Vintage Poster

Ethel Reed was one of the first, if not the first, woman to gain prominence as a graphic designer, at the end of the nineteenth century. As a mostly self-taught artist, she gained a reputation as an illustrator in the Art Nouveau style when she was only eighteen.

Her style was distinctive, albeit rooted in the whiplash-curve sensibility of art nouveau. Many of Reed’s illustrations feature female figures, frequently surrounded by objects and tangled forms that seem full of secret and illicit meanings.
