Floriated ornament : a series of thirty-one designs
A. W. N. Pugin's Floriated Ornament, first issued in 1849 and reprinted by Chatto and Windus in London in 1875, with plates drawn by H. C. Maguire, offered Gothic Revival architects, carvers and pattern-makers a set of thirty-one designs built from named botanical species. Each chromolithograph arranges lilies, pinks, hyacinths and berried stems into flat symmetrical rosettes, sprigs and radiating medallions in a tight palette of crimson, leaf green, blue and gold on cream, with Latin plant names lettered below \u2014 ready-made motifs for tiling, endpapers, borders and repeat wallpaper.
