Evolution in art : as illustrated by the life-histories of designs
Alfred Cort Haddon's 1902 study for W. Scott in London and Scribner's in New York, tracing how decorative motifs change across generations of carved and incised objects, written for anthropologists and students of ornament. The line blocks copy tattoo, bark-cloth and carved patterns as flat black-and-white units \u2014 scroll bands, zigzag and triangle rows, lattice grounds \u2014 usable as repeat borders and fill textures.
