Description
After studying art and design at the Woman’s Art School of the Cooper Union, Alice Morse (1863-1961) worked briefly for Tiffany & Co. before switching her focus to designing book covers. She created over 83 decorative covers, varying her style to each book. Stamped in light grey-green, this thistle design in the Art Nouveau style contains Morse’s monogram “A” and “M” at the bottom edge of the design. Morse also used a fused “A” and “M” for her signature.
