5.0 out of 5 stars
Beg to disagree -- very nice book!,
By Sophie (Alexandria, VA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Victorian Patterns and Designs in Full Color (Dover Pictorial Archive) (Paperback)
I have a Victorian rowhouse, built in 1875, that I've been painting and stencilling for over 10 years (. . . full walls, ceilings, etc.). Periodically, I go on the prowl for anything on Victorian design -- so that at this point, I've just about cornered the market for books on the subject. (Lately, they're starting to re-publish the same materials -- with the graphics on CD. Definitely a plus!)
This book has always been one of my favorites (despite no CD) because, not only are the designs relatively large and clearly printed, but they are all rendered in fairly authentic Victorian colorations. I also haven't encountered some of the designs (especially hard-to-find Anglo-Japanese patterns) in any other books. I photocopy the patterns, usually enlarging them, and convert them into stencils. This book works very well for that, and has been the anchor for several of my most effective projects. It's a gem.

One is enough ......,
By maxi-jewels (Hong Kong) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Victorian Patterns and Designs in Full Color (Dover Pictorial Archive) (Paperback)
I have several Victorian pattern books and hoping to find more adorable / but seems they have nearly everything the same except the cover, different publishers. One is more than enough .....

Best suited to stencillers,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Victorian Patterns and Designs in Full Color (Dover Pictorial Archive) (Paperback)
The designs contained in this book are exactly as shown on the cover. I think they would be best suited to people looking for stencil ideas, though I suppose they could also be adapted to embroidery if the size of the designs were minimized. A good variety of designs, and in historically accurate colors too.
