A 1907 Philadelphia study by Edith Hall Dohan on the decorative art of Bronze Age Crete, drawn from pottery and held by the Getty Research Institute. The pictures are line drawings and bold black-and-white reproductions of Minoan vessel sherds and jars, showing spirals, stylised leaves, dotted bands and concentric circles that a designer could adapt into repeat patterns and border motifs.
