Pompeian No.3 1856

Owen Jones's "Pompeian No. 3" from 1856 is a detailed illustration of geometric patterns, likely inspired by the decorative mosaics found in the ancient Roman city of Pompeii. This design, part of a larger collection, showcases a variety of intricate motifs, including meandering lines, interlocking squares, and floral elements, rendered with precision and vibrant color. Jones's fascination with classical ornamentation, evident in this work, influenced the development of decorative arts and architecture in the 19th century.
