A little bit of everything!,
By
This review is from: Full-Color Picture Sourcebook of Historic Ornament: All 120 Plates from "L'Ornement Polychrome," Series II (Dover Fine Art, History of Art) (Paperback)
When I first looked at this on the Amazon web site I was not sure about getting it because the pages you can see look to be designs from Egypt and I wanted more then that. I sent for it anyway and it has wonderful designs in full color plates from China, Japan, India, Russia, the Renaissance, Medieval jewelry designs and others. It has just a little bit (a few pages) of everything from ancient Egypt to 18th century France.It will be more then helpful in helping me decide what I like. I am sure this will be one of my most used books and as always I am happy with Dover for making it at a price I can afford.

The Expression of Artists in Ancient Times,
This review is from: Full-Color Picture Sourcebook of Historic Ornament: All 120 Plates from "L'Ornement Polychrome," Series II (Dover Fine Art, History of Art) (Paperback)
In reflecting on the many, many images of this wonderful book, I found that it stimulated my mind and spirit with a new appreciation of the works of men and women now nothing but dust. Their architecture outlived their bodies, but remained in the minds of others even until this day. I was very impressed with this tome in its great color and graphic presentation and would recommend it to others as an example of detail imagery and reflection.
