In Christopher Dresser's own words, "I have prepared this Work with the hope of assisting to bring about a better style of decorations for our house. My book is intended to help the decorator and to enable those who live in decorated houses to judge to an extent, the merit of the ornament around them". Indeed, in this reprint of the classic Studies in Design, the timeless designs and wisdom of Christopher Dresser are reintroduced. Originally published in 1875, STUDIES IN DESIGN features Dresser's exquisite design and classic theories that have enduring appeal. Dresser's designs, which later influenced other artisans such as William Morris and Charles Tiffany, reveal exotic influences from such locations as Egypt, Japan, China, India and Morocco.
