Publisher's three quarter dark maroon morocco and brown cloth, with large gilt red morocco title label on upper board. Letterpress title in red and black, additional chromolithographed title and one hundred chromolithographed plates (a few tinted, the majority in brilliant colors).

Withal, internally a very good or somewhat better copy. First edition. Illustrated with 100 folio plates numbered in (with an exception or two) Roman, drawn on stone by F. Bedford and printed in colors by Day and Son. With additional wood-engraved illustrations in text. Jones (1809 - 1874) brought to his career as an artist his experiences as an architect, which influenced the subject of his DETAILS AND ORNAMENTS FROM THE ALHAMBRA, and this, "the culminating work of Jones's career ... Jones's remarkable synthesis is not only a notable illustrated book, but a great book tout court" - Ray. It enjoyed successive editions, the monumental production expenses being justified by the book having been adopted as a required text for use in the British schools of design. In addition to the illustrative element, Jones included in the text his rationale for ornamental art, and thirty-seven propositions concerning the arrangement of color in architecture and decorative arts.

Among those who contributed to the volume were J.B.Waring, J.O.Westwood, C.Dresser and M.Digby Wyatt.

Owen Jones was one of the leading English architects and ornamental designers of his day. "Jones’s forte was interior decoration. He insisted strongly on the decorative importance of colour, declaring that ‘form without colour is like a body without a soul’. He had much fertility of invention, and by his example and by the publication of his ‘Grammar of Ornament’ and other writings exercised a considerable influence on the designs of English wall-paper, carpets, and furniture."
