The Studio Magazine was an illustrated fine arts and decorative arts magazine, founded in Britain in 1893, which exerted a major influence on the development of the Art Nouveau movement. The earlier editions usually had original lithographs and etchings bound into the publication as it is here. Charles Holme, Editor. In the later 20th century the annuals gave increasing prominence to architecture and interior design and in the mid-1960s it was retitled Decorative Art in Modern Interiors. The annual ceased publication in 1980.
