Greetings! In reviewing the reference books in Art, I have had a chance to revisit some of my favorite titles and get acquainted with new favorites. I'm going to make this a short entry in order to keep moving through the collection, but I wanted to write up today's find so it will be more firmly embedded in my memory.
An illustrated dictionary of ornament / by Maureen Stafford and Dora Ware. London: Allen & Unwin, 1974.
I was particularly enamored of this title because of the illustrations used as examples. The entry on heraldic ornament gives several pages of "devices", the symbols chosen as insignia. The black and white drawings range from the crowned owl of Leeds to the winged horse of Exeter. This source would be an excellent choice if you wanted to review the Order of Architecture in regard to columns. You might be able to rattle off Doric, Ionic, and Corinthian, but do you know your dentils from your modillions?
More on Decoration and Ornament in my next post!
