The studio was active from about 1900 until World War I.

These portfolios served as stock art and inspiration for other designers the world over. The plates in this volume appeared in books published by Christian Stoll Studios between 1900 and 1910. Richard Khnel and Hugo Sachs created all the full-color plates. The largest selection of monochrome plates was created by Josef Pilters, and others were created by G. Devresse, G. Grschen, Fritz Herz, Hugo Sachs, and Rudolf Zenker.

FULL-COLOR PLATES The three-color plates in this collection were originally reproduced by a process known as collotype. This print process is screenless. Collotype is closely related to stone lithography prints and is capable of retaining great detail. In commercial, large-scale printing, collotype was replaced by the less expensive process of offset lithography. The patterns and designs in this collection range from straightforward illustrations of the floral form to nearly abstract interpretations with only small indicators of their organic roots, foreshadowing the art deco movement and its abandonment of natural motifs.
