1856
Owen Jones was basically the Pinterest of the Victorian era, compiling the world's best designs into his famous 1856 book, 'The Grammar of Ornament.' This plate, 'Turkish No. 2,' showcases his obsession with Islamic geometry and bold colors, featuring a central black medallion that radiates with stylized, calligraphy-inspired shapes like a hypnotic flower. Interestingly, the text at the top appears in both English and German ('Tafel'), hinting at the book's international fame as a design bible. Jones believed decoration should follow strict rules of geometry, and this vibrant mix of red, blue, and green proves he knew how to make math look beautiful.
