Drawing on centuries of history, this work is an encyclopedic collection of 1,087 renderings from historic sources; it presents dragons, mythical creatures, fanciful beasts, animal-gods, totemic figures, and other supernatural beasts. Spanning many cultures and eras, the collection ranges from prehistoric rock paintings – to the masks of black Africa – to the gargoyles of Notre Dame. This volume includes designs from ancient Egypt, Greece, and the Middle East: winged lions, harpies, griffins, satyrs, dragons, and more.
