Principles of decorative design
Christopher Dresser's design manual, published by Cassell, Petter & Galpin in London and New York in 1873 to teach ornament to British manufacturers, students and craftsmen. Line-engraved diagrams show repeating borders, anthemion and palmette crestings, lattice panels of stylised flowers, and stencil-flat black-and-white fills usable as rule borders, pattern tiles or geometric floral motifs.
