From simple motifs to the most intricate ornamentation, hand-drawn decoration was an essential element of 19th century design. Originally published in 1888, this handsome and highly detailed volume brings together over 3,000 examples of contemporary decorative figures, including motifs inspired by Oriental tiling, heraldic pageantry and the sinuous curves of Art Nouveau. Covering the full range of geometric patterns and basic borders to complex, realistic representations of natural forms, Franz Sales Meyer's clear line drawings are both a guide for the student of drawing and a fascinating treasure trove of period decoration.
