Full-Color Picture Sourcebook of Historic Ornament: All 120 Plates from "L'Ornement Polychrome” Series II
Auguste RacinetThis book contains Series II from “L'Ornement polychrome”, a detailed visual record in color of ornament and decorative arts from all over the world and throughout history to the end of the 18th century which eventually included 220 plates. It was published in two parts, Series I and Series II.
The present Dover edition contains all 120 plates from Racinet's Series II. The copious material, ranging from Ireland to China and from ancient Egypt to the late nineteenth century, is derived from a wide range of arts and crafts including architecture, painting, woodwork, metalwork, ceramics, and textiles.
Dover's reissue of the plates, recognizing their perennial value and appeal, naturally is meant to serve the same purpose. Racinet's breadth of insight and catholicity of taste, truly enlightening for his day, give his selection a welcome variety and a consistently high standard of excellence; while the consummate skill of his artistic fellow workers and of his printer/publisher, the celebrated Firmin-Didot company, make these plates true works of art in their own right.
