4.0 out of 5 stars Interesting starting point for floral graphics
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.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not much to look at
I found that that designd in the book were all very similiar and not much in the way of sparking any creativity. Don't bother with this one since there are much better ones out there. Go with "4000 Flower and Plant Motifs"

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

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!

3.0 out of 5 stars Useful if..., July 24, 2007
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Decorative Flower and Leaf Designs (Dover Pictorial Archive) (Paperback)
This book has a lot of designs of more or less the same style (like that you see on the cover.) If you're into leather tooling, embroidery, or rugmaking, you might like this book, as that's what these images remind me of. The book does mention that they're all from the same antique source, so while there are a lot of very nice designs, there isn't a lot of variety. If the style of the images on the book's cover don't appeal to you, then I wouldn't recommend buying this book, because that's the one and only style of image this book contains.

2.0 out of 5 stars Meh...save a tree and skip this one, August 29, 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Decorative Flower and Leaf Designs (Dover Pictorial Archive) (Paperback)
I ordered a handful of floral design books and this one ranks near the bottom.
A pretty uninspired collection that consists of endless variations on the same floral motif.
Save a tree and skip this one.

5.0 out of 5 stars deco. flower book, November 16, 2009
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Decorative Flower and Leaf Designs (Dover Pictorial Archive) (Paperback)
This book helps you get a lot of design ideas. All the images are as simple as the one in the cover, same style but different designs, don't expect anything detailed. The images are in average of 3 by 6 inches and you can even trace them and put them on your projects. Good addition to your book of arts.
