Tear and share these scintillating selections from design history's most influential sourcebook

First published in 1856, The Grammar of Ornament is a landmark work of design history, offering a dazzling study of surface patterns from a wide range of cultural traditions. It was compiled by British architect and designer Owen Jones (1809-74), who had designed rooms for the 1851 Great Exhibition at the Crystal Palace and contributed to the reform of British design education. Featuring colorful Islamic tilework, splendid Indian textile patterns and intricate borders inspired by medieval stained glass, this sumptuously illustrated title served as a global sourcebook for architects, textile artists and craftspeople during the latter part of the 19th century. Grammar of Ornament Creative Papers gathers selections from this monumental tome as an assortment of oversize perforated sheets, facilitating a new generation in their decorative pursuits.
