Ornament: Two Thousand Decorative Motifs in Colour, Forming a Survey of the Applied Art of All Ages and All Countries
London: Ernest Benn Limited, 1924. Hardbound. Black buckram, [x] 35 pp of text, 119 large color plates. Good+, ex-library with typical labels and stamps--library stamps on almost every plate, all plates present. Binding solid. Item #129066
The text gives information on each item in each plate. The plates are taken from original, lovely watercolors. Truly an amazing collection! From the prefatory note: "The pure novelty of the illustrations is the first advantage of this new collection, the second is the pronounced attempt to depict the ornamental motif in connection with the object and material on which it is placed." A large and heavy book.
