Suggestions in floral design : fifty-two coloured plates / by F. Edward Hulme

F. Edward Hulme · 1878 · Cassell, Petter & Galpin · 5 pictures

A Victorian pattern book of fifty-two coloured chromolithograph plates by F. Edward Hulme, published by Cassell, Petter & Galpin in 1878 for designers and craftsmen working in decoration. Its plates are stylised floral ornament in flat colour, with borders, medallions and all-over repeats set out on each page. A designer could take from them simple repeating plant forms, such as stylised leaves, tendrils and rosettes, as a starting point for surface pattern, border or tile design.
