The Grammar of Ornament
Owen Jones (1809 ~ 1874) was a British architect, decorative artist, author and educator. Through his efforts to publish his findings on the historic use of color in decoration, he also became one of the pioneers of chromolithography.
His masterwork, The Grammar of Ornament, soon became one of the defining works in ornamentation and decorative arts, since it was first published in 1856.

Europe's 10 Most Beautiful Libraries | From Italy to Austria
Austrian National Library, Hofburg Palace, Vienna
The Austrian National Library is housed in the Hofburg Palace, which was the historic seat of power for the Habsburg family. Decorated in an explosion of Baroque colour, the library is abundant in its decoration, with metres-tall bookshelves and luxurious ornaments. The walls are curvaceous, and the imposing statue of Holy Roman Emperor Charles VI looms large underneath the large ceiling fresco. A building inseparable from the history of the family that commissioned it, the library is now an unusual combination of public access and architecture demonstrative of private wealth.

Writers on Writing from Brainpickings.org
"A good opener, first and foremost, fails to repel… It's interesting and engaging. It lays out the terms of the argument, and, in my opinion, should also in some way imply the stakes… If one did it deftly, one could in a one-paragraph opening grab the reader, state the terms of the argument, and state the motivation for the argument.
