These are gorgeous letters to use as a lavish alphabet or as monograms. The Victorians did everything a little (or a lot) over the top and these fit that description. By the noted Victorian-era designer Karl Klimsch who excelled in the use of clean lines, shading and 3 dimensional effects. His 2 letter monograms were original published in Germany in 1869.These handsome monograms are easily re-produced, the size is easily changed with a copier or scanner. They are all copy-right free. This is...
I am very impressed with this book, This comprehensive reference book has 53 Complete Fonts.
That means that each & every letter for 53 different alphabets are here. The sizes vary as do the style and look of the letters within the Celtic & Medieval. These fonts can be used for Embroidery, Cross-Stitch, Needlepoint or just about any lettering purpose. The author has selected and arranged these fonts, by type, from the SoloType Typographers Catalog. Quoted from the back cover : "Facing the...

Dover Press publishes an amazing variety of design books for artists, stitcher, designers etc. They also bring back into print books that are forgotten but interesting and useful. This book was originally copyrighted and published in 1988. the inside title page does not give me a re-print date but it is clearly a new book. The introduction gives you the how-tos for using these designs for: Cross-Stitch Needlepoint Knitting Crochet Decorative Alphabets has a charming collection of 30 charted d...
First published in 1987, this edition of Kreuzstich Alphabete is dated 1995. The book is written in German however, there is almost no text in this book, aside from the introduction. This is a new book. It did not come with a dust jacket.
German language or not, this is a interesting and creative lettering book. There is really not much need for any english text here. The graphs are very well done, easy to use and understand.
What there is, is alphabets, many and very varied alphab...
Dover Press is to be commended for re-printing, in modern & useable editions, so many of these wonderful old books for artists & designers. Otherwise they would be lost. Medieval Alphabets & Decorative Devices is a 1999 Dover compliation of of illustrations from 2 books by Henry Shaw. The first is Alphabets, Numerals and Devices of the Middle Ages published in London, 1845. The other is The Hand Book of Mediaeval Alphabets and Devices also published in London, 1853. To quote from the back cove...

" A complete alphabet based on simple designs and stitches will get you going."
"another alphabet with each letter individually designed and each involving a different embroidery technique."
"more alphabets are provided are provided enabling the reader, though needle and thre...
I believe this to be a new book. They were sold to me as news books but by one of my rare book vendors. After closely inspecting them, I agree...these are new coupes of this well-known book. The Dover Needlework Series is a fine collections of books, this one is one I had not seen before. to quote from the back cover "This collection contains 350 unusual and striking monograms taken from a rare Viennese Album printed at the turn of the century" (1900). The monograms shown in this book can also...
Rita Weiss is the author of Charted Monograms for Needlepoint & Cross-Stitch. I was unaware of this book, also edited by her, until recently although it is a Dover Press book from 1974. I hardly think that matters, Victorian Alphabets etc will not change in the years since. This is a new book, however old. This book is another of Dover Presses excellent re-printings of older books, which would otherwise be lost. This selection of alphabets, names, initials & monograms are from American editions...
NewNeedlepoint.com has long carried another of the Alphabet & Monogram books edited by Carol Belanger Grafton. I currently have one copy of her book Decorative Alphabets in the Rare/Used Misc. Needlework Books category. I did not know there had been a re-print of this book originally published in 1977 (or re-prints of books.. I am still looking) Carol Belanger Grafton is an excellent editor. She choses very well what to include in her books. This book covers 10 centuries of pictorial and orn...
Ornamental Letters is a little different from most of the letter & mongram books currently in print. These are Illuminated Letters. Each letter is shown in a design featuring animals, plants, flowers, people, graphics & more. There are also some very stylized letter forms.
Quoting from the back cover: "Since the late 4th century, the art of illuminating letters has gone through many fashions. Beautiful designs, ranging from abstract to naturalistic. have appeared on the pages of fa...
203 charted designs including 100 motifs in full color for needlepoint, counted thread work, cross-stitch or embroidery. The charted desighns can also be used for filet work, mosiac crochet, quilts made from tiny quares, and weaving designs.
This is a Dover Needlework Series book, a very good series of instruction and design book from well-known Dover Publication.
Quoting (and possibly paraphrasing) from the back cover:"Few Artists have produced as lasting an impat upon the course of America...
