Colour decoration of architecture, treating on colour and decoration of the interiors and exteriors of buildings. With historical notices of the art and practice of colour decoration in Italy, France, Germany and England
A 1913 London treatise on architectural colour by James Ward, published by Chapman and Hall, with historical notes on colour decoration in Italy, France, Germany and England, aimed at architects and decorators. Its plates show painted interior schemes, such as wall and ceiling designs with panelled bands, arched niches and stencilled patterns in red, gold and ochre, alongside black-and-white ornamental strips of scrolls and foliage and a plaster roundel with relief figures, which suggest ready models for layered colour schemes, border treatments and ornament repeats.
