All designs in this book were originally recorded in the 1870s, primarily from Egyptian, Persian and Syrian sources. Together, they form a comprehensive graphic overview of the very best geometric design from the Arab world. The images are meticulously re-drawn and digitalized for this publication. The designs are interlocking, so it is possible tocreate larger patterns by repeating the components.
