    As a stained glass enthusiast and renovator of historic homes, I'm putting this book at the top of my favorites list.Unlike so many stained glass pattern books that modernize patterns, the beautiful and varied patterns in this book are rendered directly from historic homes. The patterns are organized into five sections: Art Nouveau, Victorian Geometric, Victorian Floral, Edwardian and The Twenties.All patterns were gleaned from homes in a fairly localized area of England, and they are slightly limited in their regionalism -- the Victorian patterns, in particular, are definitely English Victorian, which sometimes varies widely from what I'm used to here in the U.S. Nonetheless, there are patterns for all tastes and all skill levels, most of which lend themselves more properly to lead came than copper foil.All patterns are for windows, doors, sidelights and the like. There are no craft, lamp or jewelry projects included in the book.










    Of all the 300+ stained glass and lead light books in a club library that I manage, this is the most sought after. A very valuable purchase.










    This book is a great one for learners and pros alike. The patterns span many design eras and it is a good tool for demonstrating to clients and friends what is possible, pattern-wise, for a project.










    As a stained glass artisan for over 15 years and an instructor in the copper foil method for four years, I feel this is one of the best pattern books available for those interested in historically accurate 19th and 20th century stained glass patterns/designs. There is something for everyone, from basic patterns suitable for beginners to very intricate designs for the more advanced artist. Even if you prefer to design your own windows, this is still an excellent reference source. Like all the stained glass pattern books published by Dover, this one offers a lot of wonderful patterns for very little money.










    This book is not my cup of tea, but it's great for someone who's looking for a design from a certain era. The book is broken down by the different eras or styles: Victorian Geometric, Art Nouveau, Victorian Floral, Edwardian, and 1920's. All the designs have a lot of horizontal and vertical lines in them. Also, it's all in black and white so you have to use your imagination to color it. The back of the front cover and back cover has examples in color.










    The cover gives 14 color examples. The 78 pages are packed withan average of 8 black and white outlines to a page.This is a lot of ideas but would be challenging to enlarge forpattern making. A limited range of symetric styles are dividedinto four groups.










    This is an excellent resource book for stained glass artisans. It has a variety of styles and eras in easy to duplicate drawings. Projects range from easy to intricate, designs (in some instances) can be mixed and matched.Dover has a good selection of stained glass books which provide wonderful references to many and varied types of stained glass design.










    This book is great for traditional patterns, specially for the ones from Great Bretain. It shows different types of patterns depending on the period of influence, like Edwardian, Art Deco and others. I wished the patterns showed some color!!!!










    I was thoroughly impressed with the art nouveau and 1920's sections of the book.These were an added feature to the traditional designs which I expected.










    Wonderful desings; however, all in black and white... I expected more... the next time, please put a note about that.
