Arabesques

From a lovely French collection of prints of “Arab art from the monuments of Cairo, from the 7th through the 19th centuries.” I love how, though this is just a sheet of disparate samples, they’ve made a sort of pattern of patterns of it “Arabesques: incrustations en stuc sur pierre (du XVIe. au XVIIIe. siècle),” from L’Art arabe d’après les monuments du Kaire depuis le VIIe siècle jusqu’à la fin du XVIIIe par Prisse d’Avennes , NYPL Digital Gallery :: via BibliOdyssey
