An 1886 handbook on interior decoration by Owen W. Davis, published by the artists' materials firm Winsor & Newton for householders and decorators, giving instructions and colour examples for embellishing dwelling houses. The pictures are black-and-white engraved plates: a scrolled ornamental panel with lion masks, a hinged box of paint or colour tablets, a grid of leaf and flower stencil patterns, and a vertical stencil border of trefoil motifs, which a designer could take as reference for period ornament and repeat-pattern layouts.
