A South Kensington Museum picture-book of selected objects and architectural decoration, published in London by Sampson Low in 1881 for museum visitors and students of ornament. Engravings and photo-reproductions record Renaissance frames, carved and gilded mouldings, niches, cartouches and grotesque figures in dense line and deep shadow, useful as borders, panel surrounds and ornament reference.
