Theory and analysis of ornament applied to the work of elementary and technical schools
A late nineteenth-century London teaching manual on ornament by François Louis Schauermann, written for elementary and technical school pupils and published by S. Low, Marston in 1892. Its pictures are line diagrams of interlacing tile-like patterns, geometric tessellations built from circles and polygons with construction lines, and scrolled wrought-iron style motifs, offering a designer clear examples of how repeat units are constructed and how curves interlock.
