Why don't you give exact delivery time?
Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

Long description:
A unique combination of photography and illustration reveals an extraordinary variety of floral motifs in the historical buildings of India: 'A jewel of a book' Embroidery magazine
Following the success of Pattern and Ornament in the Arts of India, Henry Wilson has turned, for this companion volume, to a single theme. But what a theme: the variety of floral motifs in the exquisitely wrought details of Indias architectural wonders is boundless, and one can only marvel at the way in which the basic elements of wood, stone and plaster have been transformed into masterworks of decorative art.
From the illustrious Mughal Empire during its greatest period of monument-building and artistic creativity to the time of British rule, which brought with it an unprecedented period of peace that allowed great wealth to be concentrated on the arts, the richness of Indias architecture is overwhelming.
Henry Wilsons fine photographs reveal the skill, patience and imagination of the many thousands of craftsmen who have turned to floral motifs and rendered them with precision and life-enriching creativity. Juxtaposed with the photographs are Wilsons own detailed drawings, all created by hand but with a stencil-like clarity that helps us understand the original historical patterns.
The result is an invaluable sourcebook that will appeal not only to those interested in one of the worlds oldest civilizations and greatest cultures, but also to anyone seeking inspiration for their own creations.
