Plate 9 by Édouard Bénédictus – mounted print

This vibrant print is taken from Édouard Bénédictus Relais portfolio, published in 1930 and now held in the V&A’s National Art Library. Known as a talented designer, writer and inventor, Bénédictus produced his stylish Art Deco floral works using a colour replication process known as pochoir, wherein ink is brushed through a series of pre-cut stencils to create a colourful layered image.
