over 700 designs

This book is divided into 5 categories: florals, paisleys, geometrics, conversationals (which includes fruits, veges, animals, landscape), and folk designs. I've enjoyed the folk design chapter as it inclues scandinavian, slavic, mexican, african, and oriental designs. There are 725 motifs in this book which are helpful in a huge variety of artistic endeavors
