羅馬 第2號 by Owen Jones, 1856

Owen Jones created this page during the height of the Gothic Revival, yet here he’s obsessing over ancient Rome for his legendary 1856 book, *The Grammar of Ornament*. Think of it as the Victorian designer’s ultimate cheat sheet: this plate breaks down six intricate Roman architectural fragments, showcasing swirling acanthus leaves, scrolling vines, and clusters of fruit. The trilingual header—German, English, and French—proves that good design was a universal language. Architects used these precise prints to copy classical styles without ever leaving London, blending ancient Roman flair with 19th-century ambition.
