A complete and unabridged full-color edition of the classic sourcebook on ornamental design

First published in 1856, The Grammar of Ornament remains a design classic. Its inspiration came from pioneering British architect and designer Owen Jones (1809-1874), who produced a comprehensive design treatise for the machine age, lavishly illustrated in vivid chromolithographic color. Jones made detailed observations of decorative arts on his travels in Europe, the Middle East, and in his native London, where he studied objects on display at the Great Exhibition of the Works of Industry of All Nations in 1851 and at local museums. His aim was to improve the quality of Western design by changing the habits of Victorian designers, who indiscriminately mixed elements from a wide variety of sources.

Jones's resulting study is a comprehensive analysis of styles of ornamental design, presenting key examples ranging from Maori tattoos, Egyptian columns, and Greek borders to Byzantine mosaic, Indian embroidery, and Elizabethan carvings. At once splendidly Victorian and insistently modern, The Grammar of Ornament celebrates objects of beauty from across time periods and continents, and remains an indispensable sourcebook today.

Wrinkle free? More like perma-wrinkle
I bought a similar shirt last year, and it was not as bad as this shirt, but the new one performs terrible. It feels like good quality and fits well. The problem is the stain free and the wrinkle free. The shirt stains, easily. However, due to whatever manufacturing process they use, traditional treatments do nothing. They just bead up and run off. My guess is whatever stained it in the first place is supposed to do this, but no. Worse is the wrinkle free. Just the opposite. I have followed the care instructions to the letter. But when the shirt comes out of the dryer it is no where ready to wear. So I iron it. I have no problem with this. After ironing I noticed that, while the shirt looks fine from a distance, up close you can see wrinkles all through the shirt. For instance, shirts wrinkle and crease on the sleeves when you roll up the cuffs (which I often do). Well, even after washing & ironing these wrinkles and creases are still there. Somewhat faintly, but they are there. So while the fabric appears ironed, you can see these wrinkles as if they are a pattern on the shirt. After several washings they are still there. Makes the shirt unwearable. Now I have to replace it.
