Grammar of Ornament
48 Pins
Grammar of Ornament / Owen Jones (1806-1889) and Auguste Racinet (1825-1893) were both renowned illustrators of the second half of the 19th century who together showcased the history of costume, dress, design, textile and style from antiquity through the end of the 19th century. Jones published the "Grammar of Ornament," in 1856, and Racinet published the "Handbook of Ornaments" in 1880. Both publications were hugely influential in design schools, and became cornerstones in the study of decorative arts.
