Étude des ornements : première partie : dauphins-écailles-bucrânes-grecques-guirlandes-flots grecs
A French drawing manual by Jules Passepont, published in Paris by J. Rouam in 1896 for art students and decorators, breaking classical ornament into study units: dolphins, scales, bucrania, fret bands, garlands and Greek wave patterns. Line engravings and white-on-black cuts show each motif isolated and repeated, giving designers reversible scroll units, borders, rinceaux with grotesque heads and figure-and-foliage panels.
