Beschreibung:
First 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 which married unrelated styles with a messy end effect. The result was the 'Grammar'. Each illustration is allotted its place within a cultural context and illuminated in this new edition by a contemporary commentary. Iain Zaczek, who has contributed the new commentaries, is an art historian who has written widely on the history of design
