Traditional Designs and Motifs for Artists
Whether you craft old-fashioned greeting cards or design decorative accessories, this is an invaluable reference of copyright-free floral designs. Ranging from 18th-century classical to Victorian and Art Nouveau, selections include borders, frames, sprays, trophies, drops, swags, bouquets, buds and much more. Images are clean and clear (all are line art, NO half-tones)...

Not of use to me.
The book probably does have 1OO1 motifs but many were Victorian and so ornate they would be all but impossible to transfer to a greeting card. I would return it but the cost to return would take a large bite out of the cost of the book. Sorry I bought it. May be of use to graphic illustrators with more equipment than I possess.

This review is from: 1001 Floral Motifs and Ornaments for Artists and Craftspeople (Dover Pictorial Archive) (Paperback)
Whether you craft old-fashioned greeting cards or design decorative accessories, this is an invaluable reference of copyright-free floral designs. Ranging from 18th-century classical to Victorian and Art Nouveau, selections include borders, frames, sprays, trophies, drops, swags, bouquets, buds and much more. Images are clean and clear (all are line art, NO half-tones) and can easily be scanned, sized, cropped or even colored.
I recognize some of the art to be either directly from, or in the style of, a wide range of milestone artists like Johann Weinmann (18th cen botanicals), Giambattista Pergolesi (17th cen classical motifs), Thomas Bewick (late 18th cen woodcuts), C. F. A. Voysey (Arts and Crafts period), and Alfons Mucha (Art Nouveau), and more. As usual, Dover Publications offers another compendium of artwork that belongs in the library of the artist and craftperson.

If you're looking for 1001 floral motifs then the book delivers. Lots of nice ones... Some not so nice. If I need a piece of floral clip art this is the place I turn.
