The collection of engravings, formed between the years 1860-68
A privately printed London collection of engravings assembled by Alfred Morrison and published by M. Holloway and Son in 1868, gathered from 1860 to 1868 and held by the Getty Research Institute. The single picture is a horizontal strip of ornament with a central fan-like palmette flanked by scrolling foliage, animal-headed volutes, and symmetrical grotesque figures, all rendered in dense dark-and-light engraved tone. A designer could take from it a ready model for symmetrical border bands, scrollwork panels, and historical Renaissance-style decorative strips.
