from Decorative Patterns of the Ancient World, by Petrie Flinders, 1930: "Octopus" and "Cross Emblems, Pagan and Christian Age"

The book is free on the Internet Archive with over a hundred pages of blackline motifs. I would love to find a similar book with more East Asian, Islamic, or pre-Columbian designs.

#BrownWatson feel like a shadow of their former selves. We had loads of their books back in the day, very charming. Now their website shows a few very generic looking books.

I vaguely remember this book as being published by them here in the UK, but according to this site, it wasn't.

This says 1961, so maybe we had a later edition published by Brown Watson?

I wish we still got stuff like this. Unfortunately I can't do a flip through of that book as it belongs to one of my sisters and she took it with her a long time ago.
