About this ebook
Over 2,200 stencil designs include an enormous variety of attractive and boldly printed images: ornamental borders, corners and frames with intricate floral and foliate patterns, architectural ornaments and design elements, religious symbols and figures, numerous animals (horses, lions, birds, etc.), mosaics, landscapes, and much more.
Meticulously reprinted from original catalogs in the collection of The Athenaeum of Philadelphia, these masterfully executed designs are an important source of copyright-free material invaluable for artists, illustrators, and craftspeople working with textiles, wallpaper, and other decorative products. Moreover, these ornamental motifs provide an invaluable record of American decorative tastes in the early years of the twentieth century.

7 ratings1 review
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5When looking for a book to use as a stencil cutting guide, one looks for good detail and clarity of print among other technical issues. This book has it in spades. Beautiful and sometimes elaborate stencil ideas. If you like more complicated stenciling or if you intend to use stencil for parts of Trompe Loeil, this book is for you.
