Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This guide on principles of ornamental design is an exhaustive manual drawn from the writings and lectures of design authorities. The author explores the sources of style, discussing its important elements, and examines how ornament is applied in architecture, furniture, and other objects. The chapters also cover the history of design, going back to early civilizations and exploring the evolution of decorative forms. The author's insights reflect a Victorian fascination with nature and its application in ornament. The book makes clear that decorative art must be subservient to the purpose of the design and must have regard to construction and utility, prior to the consideration of its ornamental decoration.
