Reviews

[Doug Gooch · Rating 4 out of 5]

I have the original edition dated 1918. It is fascinating to see design principles have not dramatically changed after a hundred years.

This book, I believe, is a valuable resource to students of arts & crafts, and would be very beneficial to students of fabric patterns. Jewelry and pottery design images are found throughout the book.

Overall a quick read and decent refresher course in design 101.

Somewhat flowery, old-timey language. Definitely euro-centric in focus, deeming basically all native arts as 'primitive', even while praising their designs. Certainly a product of it's time (1910). Unfortunately, most of the plates on my copy were pretty poorly rendered, often making it difficult to see what the author was referring to in an image.
