This is a simple but complete course in the construction and development of Celtic ornamental knot interlacings for Art and Craft students, with over 700 illustrations. For those keen to use knot patterns in the graphic arts, the systematically developed instruction in this book is invaluable.
This is John Merne's original hard bound publication in 1931 by Sir Isaac Pitman & Sons Ltd. on a Handbook Of Celtic Ornament, the current versions been republished as a soft bound book by Mercer Press Limited in Ireland. In any event the importance of this book is that it is the 1st real book about Celtic Art that was ever published and it shows on page 38 and 39 the written rules and visual illustrations of what makes good vs bad Celtic Art Knot work designs in unambiguous terms. Only later in 1951 did George Bain published his book on Celtic Art: The Methods and Construction... but he did not list the rules of what makes good vs bad knot work designs. Merne may not of showed you how to set up an easy methodology of how to creating new Celtic Designs as Bain did, but his book is important in that it shows you different types of Celtic designs you just do not see any were else, and his book was the 1st one available to Early 20th century Celtic Artists. Regardless if you buy the original 1931 copy or the recent reprint copies by the Mercer Press, John G. Merne's book is a significant book to have for any one interested in Celtic Art and its creation. It is the 1st ever book on Celtic Art that tells and visually shows you what makes good quality Celtic Knotwork designs from bad ones, no Celtic Artist or Celtic Art aficionado should be with out a copy.
