From simple, unadorned geometrics and florals to extraordinarily ornate and intricate images, this collection features a rich and versatile selection of patterns. Many of these 257 black-and-white illustrations feature Art Nouveau influences, and all are derived from rare periodicals of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, including "Art Journal, Harper's Monthly, " and "Scientific American." Designs include decorations for gates, railings, finials, window grilles, signs, bedsteads, and tables.
This book includes a CD-ROM containing 257 royalty-free images scanned at 600 dpi...
