Cover of 'Wooden Eagle' 1909

This cover for the 1909 book "Wooden Eagle" by Ukrainian artist Heorhiy Narbut, exemplifies his mastery of Art Nouveau, a style that was popular in Europe at the time. The cover features a bold title in a stylized script, set against a backdrop of stylized architectural motifs. This design was likely inspired by the book's themes, which may have explored themes of national identity and the role of the eagle as a symbol of power. Narbut's unique blend of traditional Ukrainian folk art elements with modern Art Nouveau techniques created a visual language that would become synonymous with Ukrainian graphic design.
