Good Art and Well Sourced,
By Stuart Laird (Rosanna, Vic Australia) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Viking Designs (Dover Pictorial Archive) (Paperback)
This book was everything I wanted it to be. The artwork is clear Black and White linework, with notations on each page about where the design came from and what it was used on. I would recommend this to anyone interested in Historical Reproductions.

Reference Work,

This review is from: Viking Designs (Dover Pictorial Archive) (Paperback)
I bought this book as a source of inspiration for tattoos with a Norse cultural feel. It provided that and more. With hundreds of illustrations sourced from real life examples (rune stones, sword guards, jewellery etc) and from multiple developmental stages in "Norse" artwork, it provides an easy to use reference for those wishing to explore their Norse heritage. Well worthwhile for those Asatruar or re-enactors looking for real life examples to base their craft or tattoo work on.

Kind of short, but still worth it,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Viking Designs (Dover Pictorial Archive) (Paperback)
It seems like the author was a bit too selective. I would have liked a huge book of designs, not just a short book of the best ones, but for the price, I'm very satisfied with what I got.
Vikings put designs on literally everything, and in places you would never see, such as the inside of a belt buckle, or the back of a writing tablet.
