Ornament in Architecture and the Decorative Arts.
Discussion of issues in ornament from the most ancient times to contemporary. Focus on Owen Jones' The Grammar of Ornament of 1856 and on architectural ornament in the Victorian era. Emphasis on originality and the relationship of ornament to the fine and decorative arts.
