Description

This image shows plate LIII (= 53). Jones’ original description of this plate from his “Description of the plates” (page 9–15), transcribed literally, using Jones’ orthography:

“From an elegant Bottle, surface enamel on copper. We have here a natural treatment of flowers, in which the limit of flat treatment may be said to have been reached. The principle of composition is essentially Persian, though the scheme of colouring could only be Chinese. The elegant border in the centre of the plate marks the neck of the bottle where the swell of the lower half commences.”

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.

Color space
InfoField
This image file uses the sRGB colour space. (Luckily today most systems and applications respect colour spaces and ICC profiles. But there may still be some exceptions: outdated or misconfigured software can display wrong colours. If you see strange colours or if the picture appears flat and low in contrast, you should try another application or device for viewing it.)


new file This image is a JPEG version of the original PNG image at File: Owen Jones - Examples of Chinese Ornament - 1867 - plate 053.png.

Generally, this JPEG version should be used when displaying the file from Commons, in order to reduce the file size of thumbnail images. However, any edits to the image should be based on the original PNG version in order to prevent generation loss, and both versions should be updated. Do not make edits based on this version.  See here for more information.
