A new and fashionable mosaic puzzle : forming a variety of elegant devices adapted for tesselated pavements &c. &c. &c.
A puzzle book published in London around 1820 by Edward and John Wallis, offering geometric mosaic designs for makers of tesselated pavements and amateur puzzle solvers. The pictures show plates of black-and-white square tiles arranged in symmetrical patterns, with a title page framed by a classical arch and columns over a checkered floor; a designer could take the stepped diamonds, star rosettes and triangle-and-square units as repeat motifs for tiles or textiles.
