Christopher Dresser, ‘Botanical lecture diagram’

Christopher Dresser (1834-1904)Botanical lecture diagramAbout 1855Pen and watercolourMuseum no. 3981
This diagram shows how Dresser reduced botanical drawings to their core structural elements. He hunted within these basic arrangements of stems, leaves and flowers to discover new models for design. This scientific deconstruction of form and structure was similar in spirit to Owen Jones’s methodical study of Islamic decoration at the Alhambra.

Engraved Coins by Shaun Hughes

Colloquially known as Hobo Nickels, an old form of coin engraving, Shaun uses vectorized versions of his own designs, which are then meticulously carved into the face of a coin using an oldschool plotter printer. The resulting intricate designs resemble the ornate borders of illuminated manuscripts, currencies that seem to emanate from parallel steampunk or Victorian worlds.
