| Summary |
'A designer's guide to period style' can serve as a textbook or reference guide covering the architecture, décor, furniture, fashion and accessories for any period production. The authors illustrate the evolution of style from antiquity through the end of the 19th century, focusing primarily on Western style, with the goal to develop in the user an understanding of the "visual essence" of a given style, simplified into line and shape. Drawings, along with brief explanations, comprise the body of the book. The book is organized by chapters in chronological order. All illustrations are original to the authors and were inspired by primary research for the time period to provide the most accurate portrayal of the line and silhouette. The illustrations clearing articulate the silhouette and the elements used to accentuate and create the style as we know it. --From back cover. |
