One of history's most famous books of design, The Grammar of Ornament displays
thousands of ornamental mofits from ancient and modern cultures in rich, beautiful
color and close-up detail. The original 100 color plates-the first to present a global
and historical range of ornament in color, and the first to display tribal art for its design content-have been meticulously reproduced here from the rare 1856 folio edition.
Readers will find nearly 3,000 authentic copyright-free designs: borders and mosaics
from the Greeks and Romans, manuscript illumination from the Celts, medieval
stained glass patterns, floral patterns from Chinese porcelain, illuminated script from
the Koran, ornamentation from Turkish mosques and tombs, Moorish designs from the
Alhambra, and much, much more.
