<p>This image shows <b>plate LXXXVIII</b> (= 88). <b>Jones’ original description</b> of this plate from his “Description of the plates” (<a href="//commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Owen_Jones_-_Examples_of_Chinese_Ornament_-_1867_-_page_009.png" title="File:Owen Jones - Examples of Chinese Ornament - 1867 - page 009.png">page 9–15</a>), transcribed literally, using Jones’ orthography:
</p>
<dl><dd>“From painted china. The upper composition is of the same Indian character as <a href="//commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Owen_Jones_-_Examples_of_Chinese_Ornament_-_1867_-_plate_087.png" title="File:Owen Jones - Examples of Chinese Ornament - 1867 - plate 087.png">the last plate</a>; the little dish in the form of a star has very much the same character. The geometric arrangement of the groups of flowers, without being rigidly accurate, yet sufficiently so to properly balance, is most artistic.”</dd></dl><p>Additional hints by <i>Commons</i> users: —<br></p>
<small><b>About the file format:</b> I have added the images of the plates as individual image files, and not the complete book as a single PDF/DjVu file, because (a) the quality of the individual images is somewhat better than the quality of the images in a PDF/DjVU file, (b) for many users it is easier to use the individual image files than to extract any image from the PDF/DjVu file first, and (c) the use of individual images for the plates allows us to add special categories or other hints to any of the images, as appropriate. — The original image files on the website (see <i>Source</i>) are JPEG 2000 (.jp2) files, but JPEG 2000 is not a completely free file format and (therefore?!) currently not supported by <i>Commons</i>; saving the image files in JPEG format would have introduced some loss of quality; therefore I have converted the image files to PNG files.</small></div>
