 Bracken Books, 1996, softcover, illustrated, 647 pages, index of illustrations, condition; as new.

A reissue of the classic 1904 design source by German architect Alexander Speltz which will be welcomed by artists, designers and craftsmen. With more than 2,500 images, arranged in 400 plates, it covers the historical span of ornamental style from antiquity to the Empire ornament of the nineteenth century. This collection of images, most identified with their place of origin, is arranged chronologically. Within each of the major sections (Antiquity, Middle Ages, Renaissance, and Modern Times) subjects are grouped according to their style and geography. Extensive bibliography. Detailed index.

Doric, Ionic and Corinthian all get plenty of exposure in this copyright free illustrated masterpiece from the early 20th century. it's not just the Greeks who are represented, Cambodia gets some, Rome gets some , even some American Colonial style for good measure. really though its about the intricate drawings, 3765 of them to be exact!

VERY useful to this day- I have been able to look up a particular era's style and suggest it to the set designer at the local Little Theater when we did certain shows.
