Diaper Patterns. (Plates
5

7.)
Plates
5,
6 and 7 give a selection for flat patterns. Almost all
the constructions may be referred to the quadrangular or the trian-
gular Net. The examples in Plate 5 show junctions in a straight
line; those in Plate 6 are composed of arcs; and in Plate 7 the
regularly-placed points are joined by mixed lines.
The designs may be used as patterns for parquet flooring, window
glazing, and similar work, without further enrichment. They are at
the same time available as construction-lines for the further develope-
ment of richer patterns for mural and glass painting, carpets, tapestry,
ceilings, &c., as shown by the examples of application appended to
the simple motives.
