Sobre este artículo
Architect Jones studied Islamic decoration and refined the chromolithographic process to print his great 1836-45 Alhambra himself, while illuminated gift book production helped recoup the investment. His now-classic 1856 sourcebook The Grammar of Ornament remains in print.
Edmonds & Remnants deeply embossed the covers with heated dies in a massive iron fly press, a new process patented by Frederick Leake used just into the 1860s.
Painter and garden designer Bateman was associated with the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood.
Bacon, from a family of writers and editors, contributed literary articles to magazines and published a few volumes of verses; three were collaborations with Jones. Each flower specimen is equated with a personality aspect: "Humility," "Childhood," "Hope," etc.
Illuminator and scholar Henry Noel Humphries is credited by Ruari McLean for the gold floral designs.
