Transactions of the Guild & School of Handicraft is an 1890 London publication issued by the Guild and School of Handicraft, the Arts and Crafts workshop founded by C. R. Ashbee, with contributions from J. Eadie Reid and Henry Holiday. The four pictures are decorative headpieces and tailpieces: a foliage border with letters set among leaves, a row of stylised carnations spelling GUILD, a classical frieze of putti around a rose roundel, and a red carnation device with the date 1888. A designer could take the stylised botanical motifs and the lettering-within-ornament approach for borders and monograms.
