Abstract
THIS is a series of fifteen sheets bearing coloured drawings of twigs or portions of a plant to show the nature of the flowers or fruit for use in art schools, more especially in schools of design. It is intended that the charts should be used in combination with living specimens, being displayed to serve as a guide in noting essential features and in producing an artistic drawing. Small figures are given of parts suited to conventional treatment, and several examples of conventionalised designs are presented on each chart. These show the adaptation of plantforms for such purposes as brush-work ornamentation and the design of stencils, wall-papers, tapestries, &c.
