Beautiful artwork, beautiful reproductions 3 out of 5 stars.
10 of 10 people found this review helpful.

I thought the artwork in this book was stunning, and the reproduction quality and colors were lovely. I did have one major problem with the book, two of the main designs on the cover (topmost horizontal design and the center horizontal design) are NOT IN THE BOOK! These are two of the main patterns I planned to use from the book, and now if I want to, I need to get them from the cover, where they are covered by text. I found this to be unacceptable! Please keep this fact in mind if the cover is what won you over.

Best of Verneuil 5 out of 5 stars.
7 of 9 people found this review helpful.

This book exceeded my hopes. It had many more images in full color than I expected for such a cheap book. I have seen other books by Verneuil and they were half as nice and mostly black and white. I think anyone into decorating, drawing, and painting will like this book. It will inspire you to create art nouveau lines and flowers on your own work.

Editorial Review:

Magnificent collection of floral patterns and stencil designs, created by one of the movement's finest artists, includes 120 images of graceful garden flowers —foxglove, hollyhocks, columbine, lilies, among others, and 39 stencil designs of blossoming trees, reeds, mushrooms, oak leaves, peacocks, and more.

Good clipart for cards 4 out of 5 stars.
7 of 7 people found this review helpful.

I got a copy of this book/CD to have images for our wedding invitations and envelopes. I was more interested in leaves than trees and I think the book is stronger on trees, but there are many nice examples of both. The CD provides images in many formats and sizes (for print vs. web applications) and it worked out great. As usual Dover is pretty much the only company with anything like this and it's reasonably priced.

Good old Victorian Chritmas Scenes! 5 out of 5 stars.
11 of 12 people found this review helpful.

360 traditional copyright-free images from Victorian-era publications. So many Santa Claus, Christmas trees, and good old Christmas scenes! All images are included in CD-ROM in TIFF format. I love the image Santa reading Christmas Catalog and I edited it and added to my Christmas Shop web.

a must for xmas graphics and personal projects 5 out of 5 stars.
9 of 10 people found this review helpful.

These images are super Victorian style Christmas images. Perfect for your web site, web graphics or at home personal projects. Worth every penny!

These Dover book/CD ROMs are a graphic designers delight. It's so hard to find good quality graphics that are royalty free, and not end up spending a fortune. Dover has a good selection of royal free images that are presented in a book and are on CD ROM.

The images in the CD ROM is in full colour and so dazzling. 362 large images in TIFF format. Sharp images ready to use. Great for Paint Shop PRO. You don't have to scan, the images are there. You don't have to install some program. Just open them from you CR Rom Drive

Editorial Review:

Geometrical Designs in Black and White 3 out of 5 stars.
35 of 35 people found this review helpful.

This book is full of different patterns for use by craftsmen. Unfortunately, it has no color illustrations, and no information about sources for these designs. It is more like a coloring book than a resource for designs. However, it does have guidelines within each design to show how the design was created, and I find that useful.

must have 5 out of 5 stars.
15 of 15 people found this review helpful.

Arabic Geometrical Patterns are not so easy to find, not to mention understand their knowhows, this book clearly displays a very wide array of examples with simple step by step instructions displayed on the same platform, i was searching for a book like that, this book is quite enough, it is not for novice beginners though, you need to have some background in such subject as the text and discription for each chapter is very limited, and the book is totally black and white, so you have to figureout what color combinations are suitable. But the layout of the book makes reprouducing the wounderful examples easy.

Editorial Review:

Intricate overall patterns based on hexagon, octagon, geometric figures, rosettes, much more from traditional sources. 200 plates.

This is a terrific clip art book however, Dover has sold this exact same book under the title, "Printer's Ornaments and Dingbats." So if you already own that book, safe yourself the money and don't buy this duplicate under a different title. What a bummer!!!

An excellent design reference book 5 out of 5 stars.

The Celts have given us so much;especially in the Arts. 5 out of 5 stars.
9 of 9 people found this review helpful.

This is a wonderful addition to any collection of Celtic Art.It is a book of Celtic Design motifs with an accompaning CD-ROM. There are 223 designs in the book and on the disc.It is a Clip Art book and gives permission for freedom of use.The designs are presented on 48, 8 1/2" X 11" pages;and all are B&W.The sizes vary from about 2"X 2" to about 5" X 6".All the designs are very simple when compared to the great complexity that is usually found in any book of Celtic motifs.They are all line drawings as represented in the photograph on the cover which,by the way, indicates the complexity found in the collection.
In the collection you will find borders,elaborate spirals,weaves,birds,beasts,mermaids,knots wreaths and all sorts of fanciful creatures.However,unlike many books on Celtic Art ,there are no Alphabets. Like I said,the motifs are simple,but a great book to get started with using or understanding this art form.
Also there is absolutely no text in the book,no instructions on how to construct this artwork and no history or background whatsoever on this art.
Therefore don't expect from this book anything but what it is;a Clip Art book and CD-ROM of 223 motifs.If you are looking for more,there are many other books available such as those excellent ones by George Bain.

Editorial Review:

More than 200 authentic Celtic motifs, ideal for myriad uses, include elaborate spirals and weaves, exotic birds, horned beasts, mermaids, and other fanciful creatures. This outstanding collection of distinctive designs features a rich and diverse variety of patterns, which can be used as borders or individually.

Sorely Disappointed - Duplicate Book Different Title 1 out of 5 stars.
3 of 3 people found this review helpful.

I ordered this book and a book called Dragons and Wizards. When I started to look through Dragons:A Book of Designs, I was sorely disappointed. Everything in this book is in the Dragons and Wizards CD-ROM and Book except the Wizards one had additional media in it. I feel like I paid twice for the same book. BEWARE, THIS IS A LESSER DUPLICATE!

not dover's best 2 out of 5 stars.
3 of 3 people found this review helpful.

I will not lie, this book has some interesting drawings but from the point of view of a graphic designer most drawings are lacking in graphism. They all are in black and white (with exception of those portrayed on the cover) which I have no problem with; but if you are thinking of reproducing them for logos, decoration, emblems, etc. you will find some dragons unusable since most are awfully complicatedly misdrawn: eyes are often off, lines are shabby, drawings seem childlike and not up to standards with other Dover books of design I have bought. The origin of the drawings is vague and sometimes unexistent, most only state which country they came from and dates are general to entire centuries, no record from where it was taken from or whom drew them, with exception to seven drawings in the whole book. Still if you only want them for looking at it or if you're willing to repair broken lines and seemingly unfinished drawings you should buy it.

Editorial Review:

125 black-and-white images based on motifs in a wide array of sources: fairy tale collections, medieval French and Celtic manuscripts, Japanese and Chinese artwork, and more. Smoke-and-fire-breathing dragons, scaly creatures of the sea, powerful beasts endangering the lives of mariners, Celtic dragons with interwoven body parts, and much more.

This book has many beautiful stencil designs in it. It is definitely useful for any artist looking for India designs.

It isn't a stencil book 3 out of 5 stars.

Actually this book is not a stencil book but it's very inspiring if you're intrested in Indian motifs.I used some of the designs in my authentic graphics.

Not what I expected 2 out of 5 stars.
0 of 0 people found this review helpful.

This book consists of small motifs and patterns. While the patterns are nice they are just black and white pictures. I wanted precut stencils which I could use to decorate. This book is for those who can use these patterns to perhaps make their own stencils. Not what I expected or wanted.

250 STENCILS YEAH RIGHT! 3 out of 5 stars.

If you Love Mucha you will love this. 4 out of 5 stars.
6 of 6 people found this review helpful.

This is a reproduction of Mucha's portfolio "Documents Decoratifs" which is a lovely selection of Mucha's work. It includes not only many nude women and flowers (which one would expect) but also designs for furniture, silverware and lots of jewellery. If your looking for a source of information on Mucha this is not it but if you just want to gaze lovingly at a wide selection of his work you will adore this book.

Pure Goodnesss,,, 4 out of 5 stars.
5 of 8 people found this review helpful.

This is one of the books of Mucha; how can I complain? His distinctive art style, that nearly defined all of the known conception of Art Neuveau(curse my bad spelling), is on full display. The flowing designs of Mucha have stood the test of time. His art is loved by art-traditionalists and my punk-music loving buddies and proves true art is loved by all.

Editorial Review:

Rare design portfolio by high priest of Art Nouveau. Jewelry, wallpaper, stained glass, furniture; figure studies; plant and animal motifs, much more. This complete one-volume edition features all 72 stunning plates from Documents Décoratifs in original color.
