This plate reproduces only one quarter of the design intended for a ceiling. Along with Plate I, these are the only two designs in which Dresser made use of Moorish patterns in this book. Jones's influence upon Dresser was primarily the idea that design should follow a series of universal principles to achieve perfection. Because of that, Dresser developed his own principles, most of them directly related to Jones's principles.
