Synopsis "Guide for Drawing the Acanthus, and Every Description of Ornamental Foliage (in English)"
This vintage book contains a comprehensive guide to drawing, carving, and etching flowers for ornamental purposes.

Contents include: "History and Rules for Drawing the Acanthus Mollis, Perpendicularly", "Rules and Practice for Drawing Curvilinear Foliage, as Adapted to Running Scrolls and Cornthian Chapters", "On Starting Points", "On Grecian and Roman Ornament", "On the Designing of Trophies", "On Swords and Other Arms", et cetera.
