Книги по орнаменту (на английском)

Издательство Dover было основано в 1941 году, и с тех пор выпускает удивительные книги по невероятным ценам.

Удивительно, но эти книги есть в продаже в России! В Лабиринте в отдельном разделе. Книги действительно уникальны, далеко не все переведены, и не все будут переведены. Что касается орнамента - профессионалы смогут осилить и в оригинале.

Викторианский орнамент, японский и китайский орнамент, сборники орнаментов разных исторических эпох, и т.п.

Дальше перечислю только некоторые книги из этого раздела, которые касаются орнаментов (в магазине их гораздо больше):
