About This Item
London: Oxford University Press, 1950. first edition. hardcover. Book VG: shelf wear to boards and spine, mild toning to endpapers, text clean, binding tight. 12mo 63pp. from Preface: "We take patterns too much for granted. We should learn to plunge our minds into them, as we do into the sea of poetry, and to receive as sharp an impression of an age from its ornament as we do from its literature. For we can find in ornament, as we can in poetry, the expression of the intellectual interests of its time, given substance and relief by that age's characteristic sense of beauty, which depends more than we realize upon those interests." #02101.
