Banners, Ribbons and Scrolls (Dover Pictorial Archive)
Worth: points - Particulars)
Elegant
, refined, clever, imaginative . . . these draped ornamental parts ― be they banners, ribbons, or scrolls ― run the gamut from probably the most extravagant confections of swirling delight to staid and conservative industrial illustrations. Perched patriotic eagles, medieval ladies-in-waiting and knights in armor, crusing ships, greenback indicators, calligraphic doves in flight ― almost each conceivable motif is represented. They arrive in quite a lot of sizes with open or slim areas appropriate for graphic messages and are able to be tailored to the needs of any artist, designer, or advertiser.
Artist Carol Belanger Grafton has chosen all 503 of those superbly drawn banners, ribbons, and scrolls from genuine nineteenth-century sources:
Cassell’s Journal, Century Journal, Illustrated London Information, and different widespread periodicals in addition to varied catalogues, copybooks, and e book plates. Luxurious Victorian designs mirror the fantastic types of the previous: Egyptian, Gothic, Renaissance, Baroque—and prefigure the types of the long run — Artwork Nouveau and Artwork Deco. Every design is good-looking, reasonably priced, and royalty free.
