[2] ll. plus [1], 37, [1], 38-70 plates.A splendid display of ornament in a wide variety of mostly Islamic-influenced styles, described as Persian, Moorish, arabesque, Greek, gothic and renaissance. Although many "arabesque" styles had been used in Europe under various names, Europe's growing colonial and trade relations with the Islamic world in the early 19th-century led to a greater familiarity with Islamic ornament and a new fashion for its application in Western art. The present plates were conceived, drawn and "engraved" by Charles Ernest Clerget (1812-1875?) and originally published by Émile Leconte in 2 parts (issued in 12 sub-parts) from 1837 to 1838. They were intended in part as models for artists and architects. In very good condition. A magnificent display of remarkably intricate arabesque and other decoration in 72 plates.l WorldCat (6 copies); not in Berlin Kat.; Hymans, Cat. Estampes d’Ornement.
