Publisher's Synopsis

Originally published in 1856, 'The Grammar of Ornament' remains a design classic. As Owen Jones, its creator, admired the array of ornament he encountered on his global travels, so his distaste grew for mongrel design. The result was this book. Each illustration is allotted its place within a cultural context and illuminated in this new edition by a contemporary commentary.
