Arab-Moorish mosaic and glazed clay work, (1898). 'Arabian-Moresque - Mosaic Work, Faïence - Figs 1, 3 and 4: Wainscottings of glazed clay from the Alhambra [Granada, Spain]. Fig 2: Wainscotting of glazed clay from the mosque of the Cheykhoun at Cairo. Figs 5-7 and 9-11: marbre wainscottings inlaid with stucco from Cairo. Fig 8: marbre wainscottings inlaid with stucco from Damascus...Arabian and Moorish mosaics are made partly of small pieces of coloured marbre, partly of small clay plates, painted and glazed. Sometimes...the designs are cut into the marbre plates and the deepenings filled in with coloured cement. In these mosaics the geometrical principle predominates...These mosaics served for covering the floors as well as the lower parts of the walls'. Plate 27 from "The Historic Styles of Ornament" translated from the German of H. Dolmetsch. [B.T. Batford, London, 1898]
