## Description

The World of Ornament (Bibliotheca Universalis) : Batterham, David: desertcart.co.uk: Books

Review: A stunning book - A stunning illustration book. Would highly recommend purchasing it.
Review: Excellent value for money - A brilliant compendium and a fantastic resource. Yes, the book is small but it is beautifully made and if you need a larger version of an element in the book just take a photo and enlarge it on your screen. A larger book would be amazing but it would also be expensive and out of my reach. This is affordable, comprehensive and a wonderful source of inspiration.

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A stunning book
*by V***A on 24 January 2026*

A stunning illustration book. Would highly recommend purchasing it.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent value for money
*by J***R on 6 January 2025*

A brilliant compendium and a fantastic resource. Yes, the book is small but it is beautifully made and if you need a larger version of an element in the book just take a photo and enlarge it on your screen. A larger book would be amazing but it would also be expensive and out of my reach. This is affordable, comprehensive and a wonderful source of inspiration.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Magnificent
*by D***R on 8 April 2021*

Astonishingly good examples of the pattern book’ genre spliced together. I know some have said that Owen Jones’s ‘Grammar of Ornament’ has never been surpassed but this is a contender. Whereas the BU edition is teeny weeny, this one is the other extreme, measuring a few inches more than the Studio Editions printings (which you should get rather than the tiny Taschen one if you can’t stretch to paying for this edition).
