Book Reviews of Plants and Their Application to Ornament: A Nineteenth-Century Design Primer
Book Review: Fantastic resource for all designers
Summary: 5 Stars
This is absolutely beautiful. The illustrations are on a creamy base paper, and it's just like looking through a volume of original art nouveaux designs painted in gouache.
It's a fabulous resource for designers and design students of all kinds, as it explores how to stretch out a theme (in this case each variety of plant) into a range of different pattern and motif ideas and applications. There are lots of motifs and inspirations for new work to be found within!
Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful book....love it.
