This image shows plate lvii (= 57). Jones’ original description of this plate from his “description of the plates” (page 9–15), transcribed literally, using jones’ orthography:
“from a surface-enamelled copper bottle. This composition is in the fragmentary style, though very well filled up. ”
additional hints by commons users:
—
the image shows many little scratches, traces of dust etc.;many of these artifacts are already present in the reprint, and must originate either from the original chromolithographic print, or from the offset reproduction process which was needed to produce the reprint. Owen Jones - Examples of Chinese Ornament - 1867 - plate 057 - 300ppi
