A valuable source of royalty-free illustrations, this compilation abounds in images that will provide a touch of authenticity to any graphic project related to ancient Greece or Rome. Fine art aficionados, crafters and designers, and collectors of classical art will rejoice in this inexpensive volume and its hard-to-find artwork.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5A very informative source book originally published in the 1800's.
The designs and motifs included are based on ancient Greek and Roman works.
Inspiration for anyone interested in design, embroidery etc.
I was given a digital copy of this book by the publisher Dover Publications via Netgalley in return for an honest unbiased review.
