Examples of Chinese ornament, Owen Carter Jones

This image shows plate li (= 51). Jones’ original description of this plate from his “description of the plates” (page 9–15), transcribed literally, using jones’ orthography: “from a painted china vase. Although on the fragmentary principle, the composition on this vase is very elegant; both forms and colours are beautifully arranged and balanced. ” 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.
