Half-hour lectures on the history and practice of the fine and ornamental arts
Half-hour lectures on the history and practice of the fine and ornamental arts, written by the painter and poet William Bell Scott and published in London in 1861 as a survey course for art students and general readers. Wood-engraved and pen-line figures record carved ornament, interlaced beast motifs, chi-rho monograms, incised stone slabs and Romanesque doorways — compact source material for pattern, monogram and architectural detail.
