2,100 Victorian Monograms (Lettering, Calligraphy, Typography)

Great and very helpful book for engravers or art designers! Highly recommended! Book came little smashed, due to soft package, but overall I’m satisfied.

I absolutely love all the variations in style, and that it shows both the capital and small case letters for each type. 2/3 through there are examples of different styles put together to show how they could be used for different advertising effects and then examples of actual old posters, which I found interesting. But it was the addition of monograms in various stylings with an explanation of what would be needed to create my own that was most helpful as that was my goal with purchasing this book.

I like it a lot. How many more exmples of Monograms. A colosal piece of work and a lot a research was certainly needed to accomplish this book. I would buy it again.

Happy with purchase would recommend adding Labels or indicators of which styles belong to what letters. I’m loving this book, used it many times already for designs in different ways. I started doing tattoo sketches to use for stencils to eventually be tattooed. Then I started writing out an alphabet in a style I really like (on pic 4 it’s on the bottom right), to use in Procreate. I took the letters in the program from a pic I took and started copying and rearranging them to spell out my message. This book is versatile in what I can do with it with my own creativity. I didn’t expect to find most of my letters in here, even though it was hard to find with no labels or such indicators as to what font types they are. Other than Victorian era. Overall I’m pleased with my purchase and would recommend to you creative types and people looking to expand their ideas about fancy, ornate letter styles.

I love this book and it really is very broad with the monograms it shows. However, there is no index or description as to what the letters actually are. Sometimes they are so intricate that you can't really tell what letters are overlapping. That is the only thing I wish it had.

So many elegant, complex & diverse samples of monograms... I am in love with this book!!! An excellent addition to my reference art books library. I would buy it again & again if I could.

Book was shipped quickly, item as described, A+ service.

I really like the content of this book, and although it was new the copy was not clear enough to use. It looked like it was printed on a dirty copy machine. I contacted the publisher. They checked their stock and found this was probably just a bad copy. They were quick to send me a clean copy which I really like. my transaction with Amazon was, as always perfect.

Beautiful thought out designs, a real must for designers who like the intricate. Many of the drawings are fully detailed, most are much smaller basic designs around the main stunners in the middle of the pages. Well worth having.

ci sono monografie dalla A alla Z. L'unica pecca e che la qualità non è magnifica. l'articolo è arrivato puntuale.

Buen libro de monogramas

Os monogramas são lindos mas, a grande maioria deles é minúscula (entre 1,5cm e 3cm). Eu esperava que fossem todos do mesmo tamanho dos maiores que aparecem na capa mas, não. A maioria é do mesmo tamanho dos menores da capa. Não me entendam mal, existem os maiores (com mais ou menos 7cm de altura) mas, tem somente entre 1 e 4 unidades por página. Se você considerar que o livro tem somente 78 páginas com monogramas e destas: 53 pág. com 4 monogramas grandes em cada, 16 pág, com 3, 07 pág, com 2 e 02 pág. com 1, você tem um total de 276 monogramas de tamanho grande. É claro que isso é bastante mas, se você levar em conta que comprou um livro com 2.100 monogramas, significa que você tem 1.824 monogramas minúsculos. Vai dizer que você não ficaria frustrado(a) também?! Além disso todas as páginas internas são impressas em papel jornal claro. Uma tristeza só. Acho que, tanto os lindos monogramas quanto os consumidores, mereciam uma publicação bem melhor.
