It’s the season for decorating! If you are looking for something different or need inspiration, why not study The Grammar of Ornament from 1865? Harvard’s Mirador viewer lets you view the entire book! https://iiif.lib.harvard.edu/manifests/view/drs:425343599$1i (Link also available in our bio.)

The Fine Arts Library owns an original folio edition of Owen Jones’s (1809–1874)work, The Grammar of Ornament, one of the most influential color plate books on decorative design and ornament of the nineteenth century.

In the opening chapter, Jones wrote that one of the universal qualities among humankind is the desire to make beautiful things. Jones, an architect by training, assembled more than one hundred plates illustrating patterns and ornament from around the world and over different periods of time. Many of his illustrations were based on what he saw in museums and private collections in England at that time and in the Universal Exhibitions held in London in 1851 and 1855, as well as from his personal travels in Europe and parts of the Middle East.

The Grammar of Ornament employed the latest and most sophisticated printmaking innovations. The readers at that time must have noticed the wide range of colors in Jones’ lithographs. In color lithography, each color is printed from a separate lithographic stone, and the time, commercial lithographic printing usually included a set of only three or four colors. Knowing that color played a crucial role in ornament, Jones employed assistants and set out to create lithograph prints that required as many as twenty lithographic stones. The result was this beautiful publication.

Staging specimens with meticulous care in a beautiful display is crucial for several reasons, transcending mere aesthetic considerations. First and foremost, an artfully arranged exhibit enhances the overall viewer experience, drawing attention to the details and significance of each specimen. The visual appeal of a carefully curated display captures the observer's interest, fostering a deeper connection and appreciation for the subject matter.

The eclectic arrangement of art and artifacts within these cabinets not only demonstrated an owner's erudition but also served as a precursor to modern museum practices. This innovative approach to display challenged traditional hierarchies in art presentation, emphasizing the inherent value of each object, whether it be a natural specimen, scientific instrument, or a work of art. Cabinets of curiosity played a pivotal role in shaping the evolution of museums, influencing the development of exhibition techniques that continue to captivate audiences today.
