Among their buildings are the Presbyterian church of Wales, Princes Avenue, Liverpool (1865), the Synagogue, Princes Road, Liverpool (1875) -- one of their finest buildings -- the YMCA, Mount Pleasant, Liverpool (1875-7) and the Church of Edward the Confessor, Philadelphia (see J. Quentin Hughes, Liverpool, London, 1969). The Audsleys were among the best known nineteenth-century "ornamentists" and helped to lead (with Owen Jones and Christopher Dresser), the revival in English decorative design that had begun after the Great Exhibition of 1851. They published a number of books on ornament and architecture including The Sermon on the Mount (London, 1861) -- one of the finest of contemporary "illuminated" books -- A Handbook of Christian Symbolism (London, 1865), Cottage, Lodge and Villa Architecture (Glasgow, 1868), Outlines of Ornament (London, 1881) and Polychromatic Decoration (London, 1882). George Audsley collaborated with Maurice Ashdown Audsley in The Practical Decorator and Ornamentist (Glasgow, 1892) -- one of the last major British chromolithographic books." - See Victorian Web.…

8vo. (9 1/8 x 6 1/8 inches). Chromolithographed title, 96 pp. Illustrated with 95 chromolithographed plates. Presentation inscription dated 1869. Contemporary quarter vellum and orange cloth, spine lettered gilt. Binding signed, "Morley, Oxford" A landmark in 19th-century colour printing, both for its technical accomplishment and for its role in preserving and transmitting the visual language of the illuminated manuscript tradition. A superb visual compendium of the European tradition of manuscript illumination, this richly illustrated work is among the finest examples of mid-Victorian chromolithography. William Robert Tymms, chief illuminator at Day & Son, the leading lithographic firm of the day, reproduces borders, decorated initials, and alphabets from medieval and Renaissance sources, capturing the development of ornamental book art from late antiquity through the Gothic and into the early modern period. The accompanying essay and practical instructions by the architect Matthew Digby Wyatt includes both a survey of stylistic developments and practical guidance for students and artists aiming to revive the medieval decorative tradition, which reflects the design reform movement's emphasis on historical craftsmanship as a model for contemporary applied arts.
