L'animal dans la decoration (The animal in decoration) is a book of coloured lithographs, or Chromolithographs as they are known. The designs for the chromolithographs were created by the artist Maurice Pillard Verneuil, the book was created by E. Lévy and printed by Imprimerie Lemercier et cie in 1897. There is an introduction by the Swiss artist Eugène Grasset.
The book contains 60 plates, with each plate depicting different animals incorporated into many different designs. The designs are in the Art Nouveau style which was beginning at this time, a style which was mostly known for its decoration within design, influencing especially the areas of Architecture and Graphic Design. This is reflected in some of the plates for example plate 42 - Coq, vase argent ciselé, which is a Cockerel shaped, engraved silver vase and plate 8, which show tile designs featuring deer & hazel
