Not a book I'd buy if I'd been able to look through it.,
By A Customer
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Medieval Tapestry Designs (International Design Library) (Paperback)
I was looking for a Medieval design book for needlepoint purposes, but it's useless for that purpose. Other than presenting rough sketches that could be from Medieval tapestries (though none of them are attributed) there seems to be no specific purpose for it -- none is mentioned in the introduction. If the sketches had been better or if their source had been documented, or even if the sketches had been arranged to study tapestry and/or design development, any of these reasons would have made the book interesting, but as it is, I just don't want to spend my money or shelf space on it. This book might be good as a coloring book. I'm returning it to Amazon.

Charming line drawing interpretations of tapestry scenes.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Medieval Tapestry Designs (International Design Library) (Paperback)
I would like to send a completly different opinion form the one that is published here, of this book. As source books of line drawings go (there are many!) this is a particularly charming one of interpretations of tapestry scenes. Each drawing is attributed on the Plate Description Page and therefore one can also consult a picture of the tapestry itself or go to see it in person if one is neaby the museum that displays it. The book is useful for all types of graphic, design and craft work and requires of the user to adapt the images for specific purposes. It definately makes a delightful coloring book for those who fall short of being artists and designers themselves and find it difficult to use the images as a spring board for their own creations. Images can be copied unto fine art paper and water colored and given as a thoughtful gift.

My son can do better illustrations.,

This review is from: Medieval Tapestry Designs (International Design Library) (Paperback)
I bought this book for the illustrations, which were dissapointing to say the least. My little boy can draw better than the illustrator who created this book. Needless to say, I immediatly returned it.
