Historic Ornament, Vol. 1 (of 2) - Treatise on decorative art and architectural ornament

The comprehensive nature of the subject of this work renders it impossible to deal with its various divisions and sub-divisions, except in a very condensed manner, within the limits of a handbook for students. I have endeavoured to present to the reader, and to the student of ornamental and decorative art, some of the salient features which characterize the historic styles of ornament, and those that seem to me to show themselves as landmarks in the wide domain of Historic Ornament. Realistic decoration was the earliest form of all art, as we find it in the etchings on the bones drawn by the prehistoric cave-dwellers; but ornamental design or pattern drawing is a kind of invention which implies the orderly decoration of architectural forms and other objects, and is generally applied to such objects with the view of adding some enrichment that shall make them more pleasing to the sight. The former belongs more to pictorial art, while the latter is purely decorative. As the construction of ornament, in a great measure, ought to be based on the laws that govern the design of good architecturethis we gather from the design of the best ornament of the historic stylesit has been thought necessary to give a slight sketch of each of the principal viorders and styles of architecture, placing them, as far as possible, in a chronological sequence in regard to the periods of their existence, and countries in which they flourished. ......Buy Now (To Read More)
