DESCRIPTION:
EVERY ENGRAVER - HARD OR SOFT METAL, EVEN WOOD, NEEDS THESE DOVER BOOKS! I use it for firearms engraving - and it works perfectly, and not being anywhere near a 'master' at wood engraving, I'd bet most of the designs would work well on wood as well - or on any softer metal - and make some glorious belt buckles. EVERY Engraver ought to have as many of these old design Dover Books as they can - no copyright means you just transfer them and go to town!
Carol Belanger Grafton has selected over 350 handsome floral and foliated arrangements from a wide variety of Victorian-era sources. Reproduced from such rare publications as L'Art Pour Tous, The Art Journal, The Illustrated London News, Harper's Weekly, and The British Printer, these lovely images appear in a wide variety of configurations — as decorative embellishments on a saucer and teacup, on picture frames and wall sconces, as flowing patterns that lend themselves well for use as frames and borders, and much more.These imaginative accents will not only enhance such print projects as brochures, newsletters, posters, signs, and catalog copy, they'll also serve as a source of inspiration to anyone working in the arts and crafts.. Graphic artists and craftworkers in search of attractive and unusual floral motifs will find them in this rich treasury of exquisite designs
