Creative & imitative art : decoration and ornamentation
Creative & imitative art: decoration and ornamentation is an 1873 Brussels publication by J. T. Lyon, issued by M. Weissenbruch and aimed at designers and decorators working in ornament and stained glass. Its plates show engraved Gothic-style stained glass windows with figures under pointed arches, a footed chalice with carved foliage, and a cusped medallion, all drawn in fine black line. A designer could take from them the pointed-arch and cusped tracery layouts, the framing of saints in niches, and the leafy bands used on the goblet and window borders.
