Pleasantly surprised with this purchase. I'm working on images for products I make for an oddities store, recreating them by drawing overhead images and changing features/interchanging parts of one image with parts of another, combining my own images with those from 1000 years ago (or more) in symbology from many cultures around the world. This has comprehensive details, the author did due diligence with their research and it's clearly presented and organized along with the images. Highly recommend.
