Overview

Excerpt from Nature in Ornament The scope of my subject explains, and justifies I hope, a volume exceeding in bulk the three former text-books of this series rolled into one. That scope is perhaps sufficiently expressed in the words Nature in Ornament. It may, however, be'as well to say here that my aim has been, not so much to show the Obvious adaptability of plant form to the purpose of ornament (which has been done already, more than once, and more or less adequately), as to demonstrate the natural development of ornament from nature, to show its constant relation to natural form, and to deduce from the practice of past-masters of the craft of design something like principles, which may put the student in the way of turning nature to account in ornament of his own.
