A grammar of colouring, applied to decorative painting and parts
A grammar of colouring, applied to decorative painting and parts, edited by Ellis A. Davidson from George Field's work, published in London by Crosby Lockwood in 1888 as a technical manual on colour theory for decorative painters and workers in the trade. The pictures are plain line diagrams of hatched shapes, a scroll ornament, a moulding and a Greek key border, labelled as figures in the text, with no colour printed. A designer could take from them simple hatching patterns, classical key fret motifs and scroll terminals as structural ornament.
