Abstract

This is a re-issue of Owen Jones' classic book on design which was first published in 1856. It was then considered the definitive sourcebook on ornamental motifs and it has definitely stood the test of time. Beautiful and informative, this is a wonderful collection of diverse designs from around the world. This is the ideal reference book for anyone working in decorative design fields such as jewellery, fashion, interior design and textiles.
