Product Description

[ VICTORIAN GOTHIC COLORING BOOK BY JABLONSKI, RAMONA](AUTHOR)PAPERBACK

Synopsis

Designed by a master sculptor and woodcarver of the Victorian era (born 1823, died 1877), these superb ornaments are now available to all who are fascinated by the elements of Victorian Gothic style. Dragons and gargoyles abound, along with stylised birds and other animalistic shapes -- the very stuff of Victorian Gothic ornamentation. Ernst Plassman originally offered these designs, in the form of columns, plinths, borders, friezes and cornices, for use by artists, craftsmen and architects. Their successors today will find them of even greater value with the growing interest in all things Victorian. The introduction by Ramona Jablonski discusses this rare find, its place in art history and it adaptive uses today.
