Encyclopedia of Ornament
by
Henry Shaw
First published in 1842, this volume made an important contribution to the 19th-century Gothic Revival, during which English artists rediscovered decorative styles from their country's medieval past. Widely praised for the meticulous rendering of its plates, this compilation features designs from architectural ornaments, stained glass, wood carvings, tapestries, and other sources.
