Dimensions: 9.7in. x 7.4in. x 0.1in.This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1869 edition. Excerpt: . . . CHAPTER VI. EGYPTIAN ORNAMENT. The earliest style of ornament of which we know anything of material importance is the Egyptian, dating from about 1800 B. C. , when it was already completely established; and this is literally a hieroglyphic style in its sentiments and in its details; both are derived from a priestly symbolism. As a rule, the elements of Egyptian ornament have a particular meaning; they are not often, if ever, arbitrarily chosen for the sake of beauty of effect. The style is accordingly, though abounding in materials, very simple and limited in its arrangements, in comparison with later styles, in which mere symbolism was superseded by the pure aesthetic principles of art; that is, effect, not meaning, being the object of the artist. Yet we cannot but admire the ingenuity with which the Egyptian decorator, by a mere symmetrical arrangement, has converted even the incomprehensible hieroglyphics into pleasing and tasteful ornaments. A simple symmetrical arrangement, however, is the limit of his artistic scheming, and generally in the shape of a simple progression, whether in a horizontal line or repeated on the principle of the diaper, that is, row upon row, horizontally or diagonally. The painted ceilings of the Tombs of the Kings at Thebes afford many good examples. In one class of ornament Egypt is eminent, independent of its skilful application of art to manufactures: it is eminent in its complete adaptation of its own natural productions in the development of a style peculiar to itself, in its conventional treatment of local natural types, as, for instance, the lotus, or water-lily of the Nile, the element of so many varieties of ornament. The Egyptian details are not mere crude imitations of nature, but natural objects, . . . This item ships from La Vergne,TN.<
