This is a reprint of the original C19th book which is a great introduction to pattern and decoration and, if you're like me a vital tome for piecing together clues about age or date of a building
Handbook of ornament : a grammar of art, industrial and architectural designing in all its branches for practical as well as theoretical use by Franz Sales Meyer
Excellent resource with 3002 illustrations covering all aspects of design, including architecture, pottery, graphic design, calligraphy, pottery, weaponry, heraldry, furniture, jewelry, foliations, gothic tracery and more. I should use it more than I do.
Bill's Review: This is a great reference on all kinds of ornament.
