Il Disegno Nei Suoi Principj Scientifici E Nella Sua Pratica Applicazione: Con 81 tavole incise e cromolitografate
An 1893 Italian drawing manual by Emilio Claudio Buonpensiere, illustrated with engraved and chromolithographed plates, presenting scientific principles of design and their practical application. The plates show geometric tilings, interlace bands, and rosettes built from repeating polygons and star shapes in black, cream, and muted green. Designers can take from them ready-made systems for pattern repeats, star and polygon grids, and tessellated surfaces that work for tiles, textiles, and borders.
