What reading level is Guide for Drawing the Acanthus And Every Description of Ornamental Foliage book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
ORNAMENTAL DKAW1NG. 125 duced on many other monuments, intermixed with different portions of sculpture.
The only specimen that I can refer to as regards the idea of an Egyptian edifice, is the Egyptian Hall in Piccadilly, which was erected at sufficient expense to have enabled the builder to have represented an exact model of an Egyptian temple; but some portions, how- ever, of the upper stories, are sufficient to give to many the character of its style : a few half round mouldings up the side,... and a bold carved cornice at the top, finishes this Piccadilly tem- ple. There is a very striking difference be- tween the Egyptian and Grecian decoration : the geometrical figures of Egyptian columns render them more deserving of merit than the Roman or Grecian, as they had only one foun- dation as regards its figure; whereas, had the Egyptians finished their leaves as the Greeks have done, in many instances they would have commanded greater power on the mind for grandeur of design, than the after ages of Grecian and Roman beauty; but, as it is, we 9 126 GUIDE TO cannot familiarise ourselves with an Egyptian portico, as it has an incomplete appearance.
