4.0 out of 5 stars
Good inspiration for the working artist,
This review is from: Persian Designs and Motifs for Artists and Craftsmen (Dover Pictorial Archive) (Paperback)
This is a good source for artistic inspiration - I am a henna artist and most of the designs are easily adaptable into body art (for those of intermediate to advanced drawing skills). The only critiques I have are the lack of specific dates/origins of the designs and the lack of translations of arabic script. Given its nature as a general overview with hand-rendered drawings, it is a good resource to build your own artwork from, not to use as a historical reference book.

Good for Understanding Basic Motifs,

This review is from: Persian Designs and Motifs for Artists and Craftsmen (Dover Pictorial Archive) (Paperback)
The book is in black and white and is a rendering of motifs by Mr. Dowlatshahi. It is not a historical text or a book of pictures of Persian designs. It is his rendering of those designs. It is good for the purpose for which it was created: the use of Persian motifs in designing fabrics, textiles, etc...

This book is perfect if your planning to make a nice rug. We bought it for henna designs. The patterns in this book are not good for mehndi. Nice designs though!
