Suggestions in Design is an 1880 London ornament pattern book by John Leighton and James Kellaway Colling, published by Blackie and Son for decorative and constructive artists. Its plates show ornamental motifs in Renaissance, Roman and miscellaneous styles, drawn as engraved black-and-white sheets. A designer could borrow the interlaced strapwork, scrolled brackets, rosettes and medallion frames as ready-made period vocabulary for borders, panels and surface patterns.
