The World of Castles by Philip Steele

The decorative Victorian designs in the practical CD-ROM and book collection will lend a special charm to almost any art and craft project. Over 400 finely detailed images, selected from a wide range of authentic sources, depict printer's ornaments, stencil patterns, spot illustrations, borders, corners, cartouches, alphabets, scrollwork incorporating human and mythical figures, flowers, leaves, birds, and many other motifs. Included in the set are:
One CD-ROM containing 463 high-quality, permission-free images scanned at 600 dpi and saved in six different formats (TIF, PICT, EPS, BMP, as well as Internet-ready JPEG and GIF)
A large-format 48-page book with every image on the CD-ROM printed large and clearly for easy reference.
Also included on the CD-ROM is Dover Design Manager, a simple graphics editing program for Windows.
Embellished with flowers and leaves, birds and other figures, these crisp, clear motifs with their delightful period flavor will be welcomed by commercial artists, designers, and crafters alike.

Philip Steele is a leading writer of children's non-fiction books. He was born in Surrey, graduated from University College Durham and worked in London publishing houses.
