Fifteen discourses : [delivered in the Royal Academy]
Fifteen Discourses is a 1906 London and New York edition of lectures on art by Sir Joshua Reynolds, delivered to students at the Royal Academy in the eighteenth century. The single picture is a small black-and-white wood engraving, a tailpiece-style ornament, with a bold geometric motif of a dark cross-shaped form with rounded terminals on a field of hatched lines. A designer might take from it the idea of a compact, symmetrical emblem built from thick solid shapes contrasted with fine parallel hatching.
