Historic ornament : treatise on decorative art and architectural ornament
A two-volume survey of decorative art and architectural ornament written by James Ward and published in London by Chapman and Hall in 1909 as a handbook for art students and craft workers. Line engravings and wood-engraved figures record capitals, pilasters, mouldings and carved panels from Egyptian to Renaissance work, drawn in hatched outline with broken edges — useful as clean, scalable ornament stock.
