Egyptian Nr 1 by Owen Jones
Plate Nr 1 from Owen Jones' monumental Grammar of Ornament presents Egyptian decorative design with encyclopaedic clarity. Hieroglyphic motifs, lotus columns, and repeating geometric borders are arranged in strict horizontal registers, each element recorded with the precision of a scholar and the eye of a designer. The palette draws on ochre, turquoise, and terracotta — colours sourced directly from ancient temple walls. Published in 1856, the work remains a foundational document in the history of pattern and ornamental design.
Restored and printed in our Berlin studio as a fine art print, the geometric intricacy and original colour depth of Jones' lithograph come through with remarkable clarity on smooth matte paper. Every fine line and decorative band holds sharp and true.
