Review: Detailed clear reference - The illustrations are clear black and white drawings likely done from carvings on furniture and architectural embellishment. Earth spirits cherubs and fantastic creatures figure heavily in leafy designs in combination with symmetrical ornamental scroll work. Excellent reference for carvers and historical artists
Review: Dover books ROCK! - I don't know an engraver anywhere who is not thankful for the non-copyright status of the Dover Book. ANY Dover book. With a copy machine you can shrink or enlarge any image to fit what ever your project is. How to get it from paper to your object? Try, in order, Acetone, Alcohol (as from a paint store, not rubbing [isopropanol]) alcohol as it has too much water in it, or toluene. use q-tips and put the ink side down, and you'll master it pretty fast. Since I don't sketch well that's how I use it, others with greater skill use the books for ideas to set up the outlines or get ideas for sketches for engravings on firearms (I'm a member of the Firearms Engravers Guild of America), knives, scrimshaw, western engraving, glass, etc. I have a fair library of Dover Books and they have been invaluable to me and my customers -- Often designs emerge for which I have to employ an artist to sketch the offspring of multiple parents, all of whom come from the dover book series. If just for delight at the amazing engravings, many of which take on imagined color from their shadings to reliving at the art from a former era, this book along with a few others, lift the soul, reduce the stress, and create awe and wonder in the viewer. And, heck, for the price they are cheap! AND it's legal to copy their designs!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Beautiful Images, but Limited Utility
*by J***. on November 25, 2024*

This book is a visual treat for anyone who appreciates Victorian art and design. While it has its strengths, it’s not without its limitations. Here’s my take: Pros: Stunning Artwork: The scroll ornaments are absolutely gorgeous, showcasing the intricate and elegant designs of the Victorian era. Each page is a feast for the eyes. Great for Inspiration: If you’re a designer, artist, or just love historical motifs, this book is a great source of inspiration for projects. High-Quality Prints: The images are crisp and clear, making it a joy to flip through. Cons: No Context or Text: The book is purely visual, so there’s no historical background or information about the designs, which would have added value for those interested in learning about their origins. Easily Found Online: Many of these images (or similar ones) can be found online with a quick search, which might make the book feel redundant for some. Final Thoughts: If you love having a physical collection of beautiful Victorian scrollwork at your fingertips, this book is a worthy addition to your library. However, if you’re just looking for quick inspiration, you might find similar content online for free. It’s lovely but not essential.
