Artists and Engravers: Author: Owen Jones (1809-1874) was a British Architect, Decorative Artist and educator. Grammar of Ornament, first published in 1856 became an important tool of the period by introducing designers to decorative arts from cultures in lands where Jones had traveled or which he had studied. Depending on the edition, 100 or 112 full-page illustrations of ornament from Chinese, Persian, Indian, Arabic and other cultures, were reproduced with the newly developed chromolithography process. The choice of color used in the book was considered as important and influential as the ornamental designs.Condition: Excellent. General age related toning and very light staining.
