Summary:

"Ornament was a category used in the sixteenth century and later to organise print collections by subject. This fully illustrated catalogue of one of the most important parts of the V&A's ornament print collection is unique. It includes all the prints in the collection within the first published set, and then demonstrates how subsequent reissues, direct and reverse copies relate to them. Describing the sets of prints, first by set and then individually, the book reveals the relationships and developments between original prints and copies. Providing an essential reference with which to understand the impact and influence of the original prints, this volume is also an indispensable identification tool."--BOOK JACKET.
