Book Description
"Drawing on all his first-hand experience as well as his clearly-articulated theories and teaching practice, Jones set to work on a vast, near-encyclopedic reference of ornamental style, form and color that would encompass all his knowledge and ideas on decorative art, and act as a source-book and inspiration to others. The result was The Grammar of Ornament, first published in 1856. It has been described as "monumental" and a "lavish cornucopia of decorated surfaces". Certainly as a comprehensive gathering together of ornamental splendour there had never been, nor probably has been since. Here are Egyptian, Assyrian, Persian and Greek styles, Roman, Byzantine, Arabian, Turkish, Indian, Chinese, Celtic, Medieval, Renaissance. Full-page plates in superb color panels, borders, corners, columns, capitals and illuminated manuscripts."--BOOK JACKET.
