So I got this new book the other day, 800 Classic Ornaments And Designs, Its a Dover book, apparently they plundered the designs from a 'rare mid-19th-century style book' called Kleines Ornamentenbuch published circa 1843.

I liked the pictures, so I thought, just for fun, since I've mostly been doing 800's pictures (book of Kells) maybe I'd try 1800's (Victorian stuff apparently).
Copying acanthus leaves really is a lot of fun. As per usual, I slapped these pictures up on my deviant art.
