ARABESQUE DESIGN, PLATE III

This historical arabesque print is adapted from Émile Prisse d’Avennes’s 19th-century study of Islamic art and architecture in Cairo. The original plates were created through close observation and careful drawing, translating architectural ornament, tilework, and decorative surfaces into a detailed visual record. Rather than removing elements from the buildings themselves, Prisse and his collaborators recreated the designs for study, preserving their pattern, proportion, and color in print.

Title: Arabesques : faïences émaillées à double jeu (XVIIIe siècle)

Translation: Arabesques: Glazed Tiles with a Reversible Pattern, 18th Century

A deep blue border frames a finely ordered field of flowers and scrolling vines, giving the design the presence of a complete architectural panel.

Each Endicott & Co. print is carefully prepared from historical source material, with the character and detail of the original preserved in the restoration. The artwork is thoughtfully proportioned and offered in standard frame sizes for straightforward display.

Materials: Archival matte paper, 230 gsm
