5.0 out of 5 stars A little bit of everything!, January 10, 2003
By rosebudali "rosebudali" (Colorado. United States) - See all my reviews
When I first looked at this on the Amazon web site I was not sure about getting it because the pages you can see look to be designs from Egypt and I wanted more then that. I sent for it anyway and it has wonderful designs in full color plates from China, Japan, India, Russia, the Renaissance, Medieval jewelry designs and others. It has just a little bit (a few pages) of everything from ancient Egypt to 18th century France.It will be more then helpful in helping me decide what I like. I am sure this will be one of my most used books and as always I am happy with Dover for making it at a price I can afford.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Expression of Artists in Ancient Times, July 9, 2009
In reflecting on the many, many images of this wonderful book, I found that it stimulated my mind and spirit with a new appreciation of the works of men and women now nothing but dust. Their architecture outlived their bodies, but remained in the minds of others even until this day. I was very impressed with this tome in its great color and graphic presentation and would recommend it to others as an example of detail imagery and reflection.
