Description

Originally published in the early Victorian era, this decorative tour de force marks the shift of popular taste from neoclassicism, foreshadowing the development of Art Nouveau. Including examples of Japanese and Hindustani styles, an eclectic assembly of 47 engraved plates features curves that extend beyond mere circular patterns into increasingly complex ornaments. CD-ROM includes JPEGs of all the images. Reprint of the Shaw and Sons, London, 1839 edition
