5.0 out of 5 stars
Yep,
This review is from: Rustic Vignettes for Artists and Craftsmen (Dover Pictorial Archives) (Paperback)
It's a keeper, and very worthwhile. First of all, this book has been well constructed with quality paper and binding. It lays flat when open and the pages won't fall out because they are sewn in. The images are wonderful, and placed by general category which is more than helpful. Each image is also labeled on each page as to what the subject matter is. I don't know what other information the other reviewer wanted, but honestly, a woman washing clothes is a woman wishing clothes & etc. Read the back cover here, you can look inside this book. Stuffed with images, this is an awesome reference book. If you want a history lesson, get a history text-book. This is for artists and artisans. Top quality for what it is.

3.0 out of 5 stars
great pictures - little explanation,
This review is from: Rustic Vignettes for Artists and Craftsmen (Dover Pictorial Archives) (Paperback)
This is a typical Dover clip art book, with lots of illustrations haphazardly placed throughout the volume. There is a brief explanation at the beginning, and then you wonder what these pictures are all about. Most of them derive from Wm. Henry Pyne's "British Costume" of 1805, which was beautifully reproduced in full color seven or eight years ago for a very cheap price. The Dover book is OK, but if you want to know more about the subject matter then you should look for the other book.
