Persian Designs and Motifs for Artists and Craftsmen (Dover Pictorial Archive) Paperback – October 1, 1979

I got this for my son who's an artist and he loved it!

Great work - jammed with ideas for my illustration work

I like it

terrific, i am enjoing every minute of looking in this wonderfull book

This is a good source for artistic inspiration - I am a henna artist and most of the designs are easily adaptable into body art (for those of intermediate to advanced drawing skills). The only critiques I have are the lack of specific dates/origins of the designs and the lack of translations of arabic script. Given its nature as a general overview with hand-rendered drawings, it is a good resource to build your own artwork from, not to use as a historical reference book.
