Manual of design, compiled from the writings and addresses of Richard Redgrave ..
A design manual compiled by Richard Redgrave and his son G. R. Redgrave, published in London by Chapman and Hall in 1882 as a teaching guide for students of decorative art. Its pictures are black-and-white woodcut and line plates of ornament: Gothic tracery and fleur-de-lis bands, a geometric inlaid-style square, a stylised thistle-like plant, and a bold chrysanthemum-like floral repeat. A designer could draw on their interlocking geometric frameworks and stylised botanical forms for pattern work.
