"Burson Fashioned Hose" Sign, circa 1910
01
Artifact Overview
The Art Nouveau style reached its peak of popularity in 1900, but American manufacturers used echoes of it in products and advertising into the 1910s. The Art Nouveau design on this sign for an everyday product -- hosiery -- would have appealed to many middle-class consumers.
