Luscious Prints of Historical Decorative designs,
By cdavid (Philadelphia, PA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Encyclopedia of Ornament (Hardcover)
This collection is a wonderfully rich reproduction of the prints originally compiled and published in English in 1873. Racinet, a French draughtsman, was amazing in his ability to capture the intricate detail of designs from around the globe. This beautiful studio edition is in large format and is a pleasure to behold. Whether you are an Artist, Designer or simply a lover of beautiful things, you will drool over the 100 pages filled with richly colored specimens. You will be transported on a kaleidoscopic journey from ancient Egypt through the 18th century. And I garuntee you will need several sittings to fully take in all the intricate details.For designers working in any medium, this book is an essential tool for research, and a stimulating launching pad for project possibilities. For all it is place to meditate on the innovation of past generations, and dream of the scrumptious places these artifacts once called home. |
