Framed Print of The late Mr. Owen Jones, decorative artist, 1874. Creator: Unknown
The late Mr. Owen Jones, decorative artist, 1874. Engraving from a photograph by Messrs. Watkins and Haigh...taken some years ago...After studying under [Lewis Vulliamy]... this eminent professor of decorative art...made a tour of four years in Egypt and the Levant. In 1834 he was in Spain, where he made a thorough examination and study of the Alhambra. He then began...a work of great value upon this subject, ...entitled Plans, Elevations, Sections, and Details of the Alhambra'...[Jones] devoted himself to the task not only of drawing the details, but of printing in colours the plates when they were prepared...Mr. Jones had prepared a plan for the decoration of the pavements of the Houses of Parliament...He was appointed a superintendent of the works for the Great Exhibition, 1851...In 1852 he was appointed director for the decoration of the Crystal Palace...He designed the decorations for the Egyptian, Greek, Roman, and Alhambra Courts...These works caused much controversy, and the artist published an Apology for what he had produced...The Alhambra Court, on which he wrote the handbook, is, as might be expected, his masterpiece...In 1856 his elaborate Grammar of Ornament was issued; it still remains a text-book of examples'.
