Encyclopedia of Ornament - Henry Shaw

First published in 1842, Encyclopedia of Ornament by Henry Shaw captures a key moment in the 19th-century Gothic Revival, when English artists returned to decorative traditions rooted in the medieval past. This paperback edition brings together a carefully rendered selection of plates, drawing on architectural ornament, stained glass, wood carvings, tapestries and other historical sources. With its compact 64-page format, it suits readers with an interest in art and ornament, as well as anyone looking to explore period design references in a concise, accessible volume.
