Analysis of ornament : the characteristics of styles : an introduction to the study of the history of ornamental art
Analysis of Ornament is a London study of decorative styles published in 1873 by Chapman and Hall and written by Ralph Nicholson Wornum, aimed at students of ornamental art and architecture. Its pictures are line engravings of carved capitals, friezes, panels and cartouches, with dense acanthus scrolls, foliage and beasts, showing how a designer can build borders and panels from historical carved ornament.
