DAY, AUTHOR OF 'EVERY-DAY ART,' ETC. ILLUSTRATED. Q/ LONDON: ^ B. T. BATSFORD, 52, HIGH HOLBORN. 1887. PREFACE. There was a time in my own struggling for artistic existence, when I should have been so grateful for any practical teaching in orna- ment, that I fancy there must be students who will find it helpful to have set plainly before them what I have had to puzzle out for myself. Hence this series of Text Books of Ornamental Design in which I have ; amplified and illustrated the substance of a series of Cantor Lectures delivered in December last before the Society of Arts. I have assumed no great amount of tech- nical or artistic knowledge on the part of the reader—only that he wants to know. And, elementary as my subject is, I have taken some pains to save him all unnecessary effort in following my meaning. The illustrations are to be taken literally as illustrations, and not by any means con- sidered as ornamental addenda to the book. vi Preface. . It is only as diagrams that they have any claim to insertion although, as an orna- ; mentist, I have naturally made the necessary diagrams as interesting as under the circum- stances was feasible. I have tried to make each one of the plates, as far as possible, explanatory in itself so that from the study of them alone, ; apart from what I have to say, a fair idea of the construction of pattern might be gained. Lewis F. Day. 13, MecklenburgSquare, London, JV.C. March y>th, 1887.
