4.0 out of 5 stars Interesting starting point for floral graphics, July 31, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Decorative Flower and Leaf Designs (Dover Pictorial Archive) (Paperback)

The graphics are crisp and very reproduceable. The majority of the flowers are a little dated, but easily altered. There is a wide variety of different motiffs from traditional colonial to Indian in orientation.

Another excellent book from Dover. Unlike many design books, this book has many variations on stylized flower designs.

5.0 out of 5 stars Just as I thought it would be..., May 10, 2007

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)

This review is from: Decorative Flower and Leaf Designs (Dover Pictorial Archive) (Paperback)

I am a freelance artist and was looking for a good source of stylized florals/paisleys for some drawings that I wanted to do...this book fits the bill perfectly! The designs are full of detail and the book carries enough variety to supply my needs for a very long time.
With the added use of my own imagination, I can see myself happily referring to it for when ever my needs cross over into this type of theme. The only way to make it better would be to make it hold even more than it already does...
Well done!
